We thank the Sports Information Department for the below submission:
Pleasantville, N.Y.- Senior Brittany Shields (Cold Spring, NY/Haldane) led the Setters to their eighth consecutive win this season over the Warriors of Merrimack College, 73-64. The Setters advance to 15-3 overall and 11-3 in the NE-10 while the Warriors drop to 3-15 overall and 2-12 in conference play.
Merrimack took their largest lead of the game in the first basket of the game, a three-point play. Pace took over and took the lead early in the first and led by four at the halfway point.
They slowly turned that lead into their largest of the game at the 7:44 mark on a triple by Victoria Jones (Staten Island, NY/St. Peter's) to lead by 12.
The Warriors then began to aggressively chip away at Pace’s lead, tied at the 4:03 mark and took their first lead at 3:38 on a three-point play. The two teams would tie one more time at 2:53, 29-29 and encounter two more lead changes before the half.
A jump shot by Kerri White (Flushing, NY/Archbishop Molloy) put the Setters up 33-29 but and a layup by the Warriors left the Setters down one 33-34 heading into halftime.
Pace and Merrimack shot the same in the paint, totaling 16 points for both teams. Pace had eight more points off of turnovers, two more off of second-chance opportunities and scored six more points of their bench in the first half.
Pace went 3-8 from the three-point line and 13-34 on field goals where Merrimack went 4-10 from the outside and 13-32 from the field.
The teams would fight tooth and nail for each point, tie three more times and see three lead changes throughout the second half. The Setters were able to regain the lead with the first shot of the second half, a layup by Shields.
The Warriors would tie it up again at 40-40 at 17:42. The Setters managed to take and eight point lead on a layup byCarol Johnson (New City, NY/Cardinal Spellman) at 13:39.
