MORE TAVANA MAGIC?

• Senior Natalie Tavana (Middletown, Conn.) will look to build off of her magical junior season where she was named All-BIG EAST First Team and BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year.
• Tavana was Seton Hall's first BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year since SHU Athletics Hall of Famer Kelly Smith earned the honor in 1999 and she was the Pirates' first All-BIG EAST First Team pick since 2013.
• Tavana was also tabbed United Soccer Coaches Third Team All-East Region, the Pirates' first all-region selection since 2013.
• Her single season point (26) and goal totals (12) both rank fourth in a single season in Seton Hall history.
• She enters the season tied for fourth in program history with 42 career points and 17 career goals.
• Tavana is also tied for seventh all-time with eight career assists.

PUCCI HOLDS IT DOWN

• Arguably the most skilled player on the squad is at centerback in 2023 All-BIG EAST Third Team selection Chiara Pucci (Munich, Germany).
• The senior, who hasn't scored yet in her collegiate career, scored in the Pirates' exhibition game against Monmouth off of a set piece.
• She's played nearly 4,500 minutes in her career and has started 51 matches and played in 54.
• She's a team captain along with Tavana for the second year in a row.
• Pucci and Tavana gave Seton Hall its first season with multiple All-BIG EAST selections since 2013.

2024 RECRUITING CLASS RANKED 50TH NATIONALLY

• Out of 333 Division I women's soccer programs, Seton Hall 2024 recruiting class was ranked 50th in the country by TopDrawerSoccer.com.
• Osit has had strong ties nationally and in the Tri-State area going back to his days on the recruiting trail as an assistant coach at Columbia and Rutgers.
• Midfielder Olivia Beavois (Windsor, Conn.), defender Kylie Ray (Hampden, Mass.) and other freshmen are expected to see the pitch early in the season.

THE OSIT EFFECT

• Head coach Josh Osit inherited a Seton Hall women's soccer program that had tallied just 12 points in BIG EAST play the previous four seasons.
• The Pirates have registered 14 points in the BIG EAST standings in the two seasons since he's taken over including 10 points last season, the most for the program since 2011.
• Seton Hall earned two results against ranked opponents last season against No. 24 Xavier and No. 12 Georgetown, marking the first time since becoming a varsity program in 1994 that the Pirates have taken a point against multiple ranked opponents in the same season.

In Olympic competition the 32nd anniversary just passed of US women hoops losing for the last time. It was a semi vs unified team. Quite a feat now with multi generations of players.

my wife and I had the chance to meet and chat with our new Prexyy recently. We came away impressed and convinced that he’d prove the right choice. Not going out on a limb here when I predict that the infighting the Board suffered through will disappear.

NEW YORK -- Four Seton Hall student-athletes have been named winners of the 2023-24 BIG EAST Sport Excellence Award. Softball's Kelsey Carr, women's cross country's Kate Cochran, baseball's Zack Sylvester and men's swimming's Sean Vizzard were selected as the top student-athletes in their respective sports based on academic and athletic achievement as well as community service.

The Hall's four honorees are the most of any BIG EAST institution.

The Sport Excellence Awards are given to one student-athlete in each BIG EAST-sponsored sport based on academic credentials, athletic accolades or performances and volunteer service to the community. Student-athletes who have attained junior academic standing and a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.00 are eligible. The winners are chosen by the BIG EAST Faculty Athletics Representative Council.

While the format of the awards allows for only one declared winner in each sport category, the selection of the recipients proves each year to be a challenge for the FAR Council, as candidate nominees represent exceptional student-athletes who excel in academics, service, and athletics, and are outstanding representatives of their schools and the Conference.

Carr was an All-BIG EAST First Team and an NFCA All-Mideast Region Second Team selection for the Pirates this past season. She led the team with 12 wins in the pitcher's circle posting a 3.35 ERA and striking out 119 batters in 144.1 innings pitched.

Cochran finished fourth on the team with a time of 21:13.25 at the Highlander Invitational on Oct. 7. She crossed the line in ninth on the team at the IC4A/ECAC Championships on Oct. 13.

Sylvester started and played in all 52 games this past season for the Seton Hall baseball team. He led the team in batting average (.315), tied for the team lead with six home runs and finished second on the team with 56 hits.

Vizzard won his second BIG EAST title in the 1650 free at the conference championship this past season. He also posted personal best times in the 500 Y Free, 1650 Y Free, and 400 Y IM at the BIG EAST Championships. Vizzard's standout campaign earned him Seton Hall Male Junior Athlete of the Year honors.

NEW YORK -- The BIG EAST women's soccer coaches have voted senior midfielder/forward Natalie Tavana (Middletown, Conn.) to repeat as BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, the conference office announced Tuesday.

Tavana was also named to the 13-member Preseason All-BIG EAST Team. The Pirates were picked to finish eighth in the 11-team BIG EAST, one vote shy from tying Creighton for seventh place. This marks the first preseason poll since 2015 that Seton Hall has not been picked to finish in the final slot of the league standings.

Tavana was named BIG EAST Preseason Offensive Player of the Year after a standout junior season that saw her score 12 goals and tally 26 points. She finished with the most goals in the BIG EAST and both her goal and point totals were the most at The Hall since Kelly Smith's senior season in 1999. Tavana was named Third Team All-East Region by the United Soccer Coaches and a unanimous All-BIG EAST First Team pick. Tavana was the first Pirate to be named All-BIG EAST first team in 10 years when Ashley Clarke was named to the league's top team in 2013. She was the first Pirate to be named BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year since SHU Athletics Hall of Famer Kelly Smith won the award in 1999.

In year two under head coach Josh Osit, the Pirates registered their most BIG EAST points in a season since 2011 and finished with their second-most wins in a season since 2012. Natalie Tavana and Chiara Pucci made All-BIG EAST teams, which was the first time multiple Pirates received All-BIG EAST honors since 2013.

Horrible leadership that let the protests get out of hand . Good to see those that enable anti-Semitism pay the price.
