Clarks Summit, PA – Marywood University women's basketball overcame a struggling first half from the field to topple Baptist Bible College 64-27 Thursday in Colonial States Athletic Conference action. The Pacers (13-6) improve to 8-3 in conference play, while Baptist Bible falls to 1-17 overall and 1-11 against CSAC competition.

Maggie Presnal and Maddie Lavery led the Pacers with six rebounds.

Marywood could not find its shots in the first half, hitting just 10 of 35 (28.6 percent) from the field and missing all nine 3-pointers. The Pacers improved in the second half with a 60 percent (18 of 30) shooting clip and making two of five – both from Steakin – from beyond the arc.
