How it Happened
Stonehill methodically built up its lead across the first three quarters before Pace rapidly turned the tables in the beginning of the fourth.

The Setters trailed by six after one, by seven after two and by as many as 15 in the third quarter. Pace, however, never wilted. The Blue and Gold rattled off a 20-5 run to take a lead in the fourth quarter—its first since 2-0 in the first. A layup from Rivera capped off the run, and provided Pace with a 49-48 lead at the 7:24 mark of the fourth.

Following another basket by Wong to give the Setters a 51-48 lead, Stonehill responded with a 9-1 run to take back a five-point edge at the 4:14 mark. Pace would once again come back to within one on two more occasions—the final one coming at 60-59 with 1:39 left.

Pace was unable to score the rest of the way as four free throws from the Skyhawks closed out the final margin at 64-59.

Up Next
The Setters will play their next two on the road, beginning with a trip to Bentley on Saturday afternoon.
