WEST HAVEN, Conn. – The University of New Haven women's basketball team suffered a 52-41 loss against the Pace Setters, (13-11, 9-7 NE10) on Tuesday inside Charger Gymnasium in a Northeast-10 game.
 
Junior Alexandria Kerr (Montclair, N.J./Montclair) scored 18 points off 44 percent shooting, her fifth-straight game and 17th this season in double digit scoring. Freshman Brie Pergola (Torrington, Conn./Torrington) also finished with at least ten points in her third-straight game, netting 11 points while shooting 42 percent from the floor.  Kerr also finished with a team-high six rebounds, and also had two blocks and two steals in the defeat. Senior Quana Smith (Bronx, N.Y./Harry S. Truman) finished out with five points, two assists and two steals in the defeat, while sophomore Kim Talley (Quakertown, Pa./Lansdale Catholic) had three steals.
 
FIRST QUARTER NOTES:
  • Kerr took command of the floor early, going 3-of-6 from the field while knocking down one three-pointer and both of her free throws to score nine points in the first ten minutes.
  • Pace used an 8-0 run to gain a six-point lead, but two Kerr free throws and a three-point play by Smith helped chip back into the Pace lead. After Pace's Geena Rosalbo connected on a three-pointer, Kerr got a pass from Smith and answered with a three-point bucket on the following Charger possession.
  • Junior Allieyah Cubbage (North Plainfield, N.J./Roselle Catholic) made a jump shot with six minutes remaining in the first frame to gain a 15-14 advantage over the Setters at the end of the first period.
