History Repeats Itself… 

In the victory over Catawba on Nov. 30, Jentri Worley drained a three-point shot just before the buzzer for the one-point overtime victory. Against Clayton State, Worley increased her degree of difficulty and once again hit a last-second shot for a one-point victory. This time, Worley was a step inside of halfcourt and banked home the game-winning shot, helping the Pacers go to 1-0 in the PBC.  

Breanna Is Ballin'

Rookie Breanna Gustave had another solid effort in the win over Clayton State. She poured in 18 points and snagged eight rebounds, including three on the offensive glass. Gustave registered a game-high and career-high five steals as well. 

Blue Chips

In her first collegiate experience, Kelsie Woodard saw 17 minutes of action and made a huge impact for the Pacers. She scored eight points and grabbed a game-high nine rebounds in the victory. 

Getting To The Line
