Ferrum, VA – Peace College took the show on the road, but left something either in Raleigh or on the van when they took on Ferrum College on Saturday afternoon. The Panthers jumped out to a 39-21 halftime lead over the Pacers and cruised onto an 83-51 victory over the visitors in USA South action.

For Ferrum, senior guard Quanita Bennett and freshman forward Tonya Wright had eight points each. In a well-balanced offensive showing, all 13 players scored for Ferrum. The Panthers also dominated the boards, 47-29.

Peace (6-10, 0-6 USA South) was led by guard Christy Freeman's nine points. The Pacers spread the ball around as guards Amanda Cross, Brittany Lynn and LeAnne Horne each contributed seven points in the losing effort. The deciding factor in the game very easily could be contributed to the one sided rebound performance. The Pacers did not have any player with more than five total rebounds, with that being guard Anna Prorock.

The Pacers will make the 45-minute ride down to Danville, VA to face Averett University on Sunday at 2:00 PM. Although heading into the weekend neither team had earned a USA South Conference victory, Averett was able to blow by NC Wesleyan on Saturday to pick up their first win in conference play. Peace still remains winless, but will look to get by the Lady Cougars move up in the conference standings. Averett enters the game with a 2-12 overall record (1-5 USA South).
