SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Maria Brown scored 12 of
her 16 points in the second half to lead Pace to a 69-49 win over

20th win of the season, while Le Moyne (11-15, 7-14

1-for-12 effort from the free throw line in the opening half. The

the second half and never saw it dip below double figures the rest
of the way.
Brown led three Setters in double figures. Junior Ashley
