With an 7-1 record, the Pacers tied the 2013-14 team for the best record through eight games. Marywood won its first seven games in 2013-14 before falling to Delaware Valley University, No. 3 Amherst College and Eastern Connecticut State in consecutive games.
 
Marywood had five players scoring in double figures. Olivia Ciullo scored 19 points with eight rebounds. Savannah Purdy, Rachel McDonald and Emmersen Peel each provided 11 points. It marked career highs for both McDonald and Peel. 

Abbey McGee came shy of becoming the first Marywood player with a triple-double. McGee had 10 points, eight assists and eight rebounds in 22 minutes on the court. 

Marywood shot 54.8 percent from the field on 40 of 73 shooting. It held the Broncos to 35.6 percent.
