Box Score Doylestown, PA - Marywood University dropped the first game of its 2013-14 campaign in a 78-64 loss at Delaware Valley College. The Aggies have ended each of the past three Pacer season-opening winning streaks of six games or more, previously delivering Marywood's first loss in 2007 and 2009. Marywood falls to 7-1 before embarking on the Vegas Hoopla Tournament on Dec. 29-30. 

Nora Joyce led the Pacers with 16 points with four 3-pointers. Brittany Mang contributed 12 points, seven rebounds and four steals. Carly Leitzel tied for a team high seven boards. 

Morgann Haduck provided seven assists to complement a 10-point effort. 

Marywood outrebounded the Aggies by a 43-35 margin. The Pacers collected 20 offensive rebounds to Delaware Valley's eight that contributed towards 15 second-chance points. 

The Pacers controlled the pace in the first half, holding a 22-17 lead with 8:10 remaining in the first half. Over the next five minutes, Delaware Valley went on a 16-1 run to take a 33-23 lead. Kelsey Kitpatrick hit a 3-pointer just before the buzzer to put the Aggies ahead 42-27 at the break. 

Marywood made it a two-possession game at 48-42 with 13:25 remaining. A 10-2 run by the Aggies erased the Pacer comeback, and Marywood never came within single digits of the lead for the remainder.
