BALTIMORE, Md. --  LaPri McCray-Pace is making quite an impression as a true freshman for Morgan State.

Tonight the Philadelphia native scored nearly a point per minute, leading the way for the Bears by scoring 21 points in 22 minutes to help Morgan State defeat Division II Goldey-Beacom 82-67 on Tuesday night at Hill Field House.

McCray-Pace shot 6 of 6 from the field and had seven rebounds and a pair of assists. In his last two games, he has combined for 31 points in 42 minutes and has shot 83 percent from the floor (10-12 FG).

Tyler Streeter and Kyson Rawls added 13 points apiece off the bench for the Bears, who shot 50 percent from the floor. Morgan State outrebounded the Lightning by a commanding 41-28 margin.

Morgan State (3-2) raced to a 23-5 lead on back-to-back layups by Martez Cameron and Stanley Davis and stretched the lead to 21 points with 5:49 before halftime. Rawls' 3-pointer at the buzzer gave the Bears a 46-24 lead at intermission. Streeter's layup put Morgan State up 62-36 with 13 minutes to go.

Dante Thompson led the Lightning with 23 points and nine rebounds and Troy Stancil added 14 points. Goldey-Beacom had 12 assists on its 19 field goals but shot 37.3 percent. Defensively, the Lightning had 13 steals and forced the Bears to commit 26 turnovers.

"We didn't play well, we just didn't play well," said Morgan State coach Todd Bozeman. "I mean 26 turnovers, that's crazy. Maybe it's residue from the West Virginia game... Hopefully we got that out of our system."

"We have to get better."

Morgan State beat Goldey-Beacom 66-62, in the only other meeting of the teams, on Nov. 23, 2015.
