Pacers Hold Off Mt. St. Mary on the Road

Seitz, Reed each provided 17 points apiece

Newburgh, N.Y. — Marywood University held off a late Mt. St. Mary College rally for a 89-85 victory Wednesday in non-conference men's basketball. The Pacers improve their record to 5-3 overall with their second road win of the season. 

Trevor Seitz and Brandon Reed each led Marywood with 17 points apiece. Combined, the two guard connected on 9 of 14 shots from beyond the arc. 

Shilo Bivins neared a double-double with 15 points and eight rebounds. He made 7 of 9 from the field. 

Marywood was also helped by Andrew Quinn's nine points. 

The Pacers were outstanding from the field, making 55.9 percent of its shots. Marywood made half of its 30 attempts from 3-point range. Both teams had 28 rebounds.

Jayden Figueroa tallied 24 points and eight rebounds. Branden Graham scored 18 points, and Connor Cyran provided 17 points. 

Marywood's bench proved to be a difference-maker, outscoring the Knights by a 40-17 margin. 

The Pacers held onto an early lead until a 10-point Mount St. Mary run resulted in a scoring change before halftime. Trailing 36-27, Figueroa started the rally and capped it with a layup to go ahead 37-36 with 35 seconds remaining in the half. 

It extended into a 13-point run when Graham opened the second half with a 3-pointer to take a 40-36 lead. Bivins tied the game with a layup from Cole Johnson to make it 46-46 with 16:40 left, and Seitz gave the Pacers a lead with a 3-pointer on the next possession.

The two teams traded leads several times until Bivins put back an offensive rebound to go on top 60-58 at the 11:13 mark. It started a seven-point run. 

Mount St. Mary's near-heroic run came near seconds after facing its largest deficit of the game. Reed made a fast break with 48 seconds lead for a 85-75 advantage. Figueroa ran down the course to hit an immediate 3-pointer. Following an offensive foul, Connor Cyran put back a shot to trim the Pacers' lead in half in a matter of eight seconds. A missed layup yielded a Graham layup that made it a one-possession game with 10 seconds remaining. Franko completed both ends of a trip to the charity strip, and Graham again connected on a long ball to move within two (87-85) with five seconds left. 

Reed made two free throws with five seconds remaining to secure the win. 

Marywood heads to Manhattanville College on Saturday at 4 p.m.
