End of the Road: Daemen’s Season Ends With 67-65 Heartbreaker To Pace In NCAA East Regional Finals

MANCHESTER, N.H. – All good things must come to an end, even in the world of sports.

In a game that went down to the literal last tenths of a second, Daemen women's basketball saw their season end in a 67-65 loss against Pace University in the NCAA East Regional finals Monday night at the Stan Spirou Field House on the campus of Southern New Hampshire University. The Wildcats had a 60-59 lead with just over three minutes left when freshman Arianna Stockinger's lone three-pointer of the night sparked an 8-5 finish for Pace to secure the win and advance to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2001. The loss ended Daemen's hopes of becoming the first East Coast Conference team to repeat as East Regional champions and the first overall since Bentley in 2011 and 2012.
