Raleigh, NC – Peace College went blow for blow with Greensboro College in the first half, but the Pride was just too strong for the Pacers in the second half. Peace tied the game at 29-29 with under a minute to play in the first half when Brittany Lynn hit a jumper from just outside the paint. The score would stick as the two teams headed into intermission, but it was the Pride who would use the break to their advantage.

Greensboro came out strong in the second half as the Pride went on a 14-2 scoring run to begin the final twenty minutes. That would prove to be the difference as the visitors took their twelve point lead and ended up winning by the same margin. The Pride was led by reigning USA South Conference player of the year Staci Humphrey who led all scorers with twenty points, while also dishing out seven assists. On the other side of the court the Pacers got plenty of offense from Christy Freeman and Brittany Lynn. Both players scored twelve points respectively with Lynn adding seven rebounds in the losing effort. Amanda Cross also added nine points for Peace.

The Pacers, who fell to 6-9 overall on the season, still remain winless in USA South Conference play on the season with an 0-5 record. The Pride improved to 10-5 (4-1 USA South). Peace will take two days off before becoming weekend road warriors. The Pacers travel to Ferrum, VA to visit Ferrum College on Saturday, before making the short trek south to face Averett University on Sunday. Both USA South Conference games will tip off at 2:00 PM.
