LYNCHBURG, VA – The William Peace University women's basketball team traveled to face the Wildcats of Randolph College Sunday afternoon. Once again, the Pacers erased a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter but fell just short, 57-56.

The Pacers (4-4) trailed 48-37 after the third quarter but took over in the fourth, ripping off 15 straight points for a 52-48 lead with less than five minutes to play.
