PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. --- The No. 24 Pace University men's basketball dominated the game on both ends of the floor right from the opening tip in an 81-59 win over Adelphi University Wednesday evening at Goldstein Fitness Center.

Pace stays perfect, moving to 7-0 overall and 3-0 in Northeast 10 play. Pace hits the road for a trek to Colchester, Vt. for a Saturday meeting with Saint Michael's College with tip-off slated for 3:30 p.m.

From the 13:52 mark in the first half, which had Jamaal Waters slam the ball home to take a 6-4 edge, the lead would never return back to Adelphi.

Pace ended up taking a 34-29 lead into halftime. At the break, Adelphi was forced into 13 turnovers.

In the second half, the Setter offense kicked it into high gear. A 12-2 run in the opening half of the second half, which was capped off by a fast break layup by Chaz Harvey got the lead up to 20 for the first time. With the game out of reach, the offense did not relent, keeping the up-tempo pace that got them the lead-up for the whole game.
