Devona Knight led the way with 14 points and 13 rebounds as Pfeiffer (11-8, 11-3 CC) remained in second place in the conference, a game and a half behind Barton.
Ashley Arff starting things off by putting Converse (3-15, 3-10) up 7-2 a couple of minutes into the contest.
After about a minute and a half of scoreless action, Pfeiffer bounced back with a pair of baskets by Jamila Harris and a game-tying shot by Domonique China in an 8-0 run. Ashley Day cut the Valkyries deficit to one, before the Lady Falcons spurted out on a 9-0 run halfway through the first period.
Knight would then score six straight points, four on free attempts, as Pfeiffer took a 23-14 lead with 7:51 to go in the frame. Late field goals by Charlotte Fuller, China and Knight created a 35-24 halftime lead for the visiting Falcons.
Back-to-back buckets by Knight and Christina Harvey quickly put Pfeiffer up 45-29 seven minutes into the final period.
