PLEASANTVILLE, NY – The Pace University women's basketball team opened their Northeast-10 Conference schedule on Wednesday night as the Setters fell to the Saint Rose Golden Knights 54-26.

For the second time this season, Gabriella Rubin led the way for Pace (0-3, 0-1 NE-10) with 10 points. Margo Hackett netted seven points and hit the 122nd three-pointer of her career, moving the senior into sole possession of fifth place all-time for the Setters.

After a rough start saw Pace fall behind 12-0, the Setters made some noise midway through the first half as a layup by Rachel Dortch and a jumper coupled with a three by Hackett cut the Saint Rose (2-1, 1-0 NE-10) lead to 15-7 at the 10:03 mark of the first half. The Golden Knights would close the frame on a 17-7 run, however to take a solid lead into the lockerroom.

Pace remains home for their next game when they take on New Haven on Saturday at 1:30 pm.
