How it Happened
Pace would lead for most of the first quarter, led by early success shooting from beyond the arc. A deep ball by Wong and back-to-back threes from Svoboda pushed Pace's lead to a quarter-high six points with four minutes left in the period. Adelphi however would take momentum in the final minutes, going on a 15-5 run to take a 22-18 lead through 10 minutes.

After trading leads to open up the second quarter, the Panthers would begin to pull away over the final eight minutes of the half. A 22-11 run to close out the half put Pace in a hole to head into the half. Adelphi would pull ahead by double digits on four separate occasions in the quarter, ultimately ending the half ahead 46-35.

Following a third quarter that saw Pace only pull as close as seven, the Setters began to stage a comeback attempt in the fourth. Trailing by as much as 17, the Blue and Gold went on a 20-6 run over seven minutes. Kelsey Quain's (Ossining, NY/Ossining) three-pointer with 44 seconds left pulled Pace to within two, but the comeback would come up just short as Adelphi went four-for-four on closing second free throws to pick up the win.

Up Next
The Setters will be back home for Senior Night on Wednesday when they host Le Moyne College at 5:30 p.m.
