Pacers Fall At Home To Brevard

RALEIGH, N.C. – William Peace played Brevard nearly even in the first half but the contest slipped away from the Pacers after halftime in a 96-74 men's basketball loss at the Hermann Athletic Center on Saturday.

The Pacers trailed 49-48 at the break but were outscored 47-26 in the second half. Michael Dulin buried a three-pointer for the Pacers' final lead at 53-51 but the Tornados answered with a 26-4 run for a 77-57 lead midway in the half. The contest stayed in double digits the rest of the way.

Timothy Pettiford led the Pacers (3-3 USA South, 8-9 overall) with 19 points on 8 of 14 shooting. Ryan Lominack came off the bench to score a season-high 15 points on 3 of 5 shooting including 3 of 4 three-pointers. Lominack was 6 of 6 from the free throw line to lead a reserve unit that scored 30 bench points.
