RALEIGH, N.C. – Tanaesha Ellison posted a double-double of 23 points and 12 rebounds, but William Peace came up short in a 92-66 USA South women's basketball loss to Brevard at the Hermann Athletic Center on Saturday.

William Peace was in striking distance midway in the third period. The Pacers were within seven at 53-46 on Smiley's three-pointer, but the Tornados (3-1 USA South, 7-2 overall) caught fire, outscoring the hosts 31-11 between the third and fourth periods for an 84-57 lead with four minutes left in the game.
