Pleasantville, NY -- The Assumption woman's basketball team took
a tough loss while visiting Pace University on Saturday, losing by
a final score of 75-37.

seven points and a team-high eight rebounds. Senior forward Molly
Griffiths (Walpole, MA/Ursuline Academy) had six points and seven
rebounds. Sophomore guard Gabrielle Gibson

points and 10 rebounds. Junior forward Maral
Javadifar (Flushing, NY/The Mary Louis Academy) added 12
points and senior guard Lisa Welsome (Staten
Island, NY/St. Peter's) had 11 points, all part of a very balanced,
potent Pace offense that took a 3-2 lead two minutes into the game
off a three-pointer by Welsome and then never let up.
Pace led by 21 headed into halftime, then started the second half
on a six point run. Assumption never got closer than 22 after
that.
