Pleasantville, N.Y. - Despite a season-high 23 points from Emily Miccile, the Adelphi University women's basketball team fell 68-53 to Pace University in a Northeast-10 Conference showdown on Saturday at the Goldstein Fitness Center.

Miccile's 23 points came on 7-of-16 shooting and surpassed her previous career-high of 19 points on Jan. 4, 2020 against New Haven.

The loss drops the Panthers (4-7, 2-4 NE10) to a record of 1-5 on the road.

Adelphi fell into an early 14-5 hole, but clawed back into the game with an 8-0 run that pulled the visitors within a point (14-13) in the second quarter.

Although the Panthers came within a basket of taking the lead, Adelphi never led across the duration of the game.

A 12-0 run in response to Adelphi's comeback put the Setters (12-2, 7-1 NE10) in front by double digits and Pace never looked back.

Nearly a quarter of the visitors' scoring output came from the bench. The Panthers also pulled down 12 offensive rebounds in the contest.

Head Coach Sade Jackson and her Adelphi squad are back in action Tuesday (Jan. 11) in Easton, Mass. at Stonehill College at 5:30 p.m.
