Worcester, MA – The Pace University Women's Basketball team struggled Wednesday night, losing to Assumption University, 40-53. Their recent three-game skid has caused the Setters to fall in the standings as they now sit at 10-4 overall, and 4-4 in the Northeast 10.  

Six of the first 12 points belonged to Shanice Sinclair as the Setters jumped out to an early lead over Assumption. In the opening quarter, Pace made 7-9 from the floor to take an eight-point upper hand into the second, 17-9.  

However, the rest of the night had a much different tone as the Greyhounds would outscore Pace 17-4 in the second quarter taking a five-point advantage into halftime. Assumption was led by Amanda Mieczkowski who scored eight of her 15 points during a solo 8-0 run in the second.  

Pace struggled to find momentum in the second half and Assumptions' lead grew with each possession. Heading into the final quarter Pace trailed 29-39. The Blue and Gold could not make up the deficit in the fourth and surrendered their fourth loss of the season to the Greyhounds, 53-40.
