It's the second time The Hall has opened the season with Wagner.

SCOUTING WAGNER
Wagner is coming off a 7-21 season a year ago, which included a 4-12 mark in Northeast Conference play. After seven consecutive losses, Wagner's season came to an end on a bright note with a 79-65 victory over Merrimack in the regular season finale.

The District Heights, MD native also averaged 4.3 rebounds per game, 3.8 assists per game, and 1.3 steals per game during last season's campaign, highlighted by a 29-point showing against LIU on January 8.

This year, the Seahawks were picked to finish sixth in the nine-team league according to the preseason coaches' poll. Washington was named one of five student-athletes on the 2024-25 Preseason All-NEC Women's Basketball Team. Wagner added six transfers and two freshmen to its 2024-25 roster.

Pirates Grind Out Season-Opening Victory, 57-53


resize




The Hall used an 11-2 run late in the second half to pull away.


NEWARK, N.J. – Graduate student Chaunce Jenkins (Newport News, Va.) scored a game-high 19 points to lift the Seton Hall men's basketball team to a 57-53 season-opening victory over Saint Peter's at the Prudential Center on Monday.

In a very physical, defense-minded affair, both teams showed season-opening rust, but the Pirates were able to grind out the victory late. Trailing 49-45, The Hall held the Peacocks without a field goal for the next 6:24 and were able to grab a 56-51 advantage with under two minutes to play. Saint Peter's had the ball, down only three, with 18 seconds left, but couldn't find the equalizer.

In his first game as a Pirate, Jenkins had 19 points on 4-for-9 shooting from the floor and was 9-for-10 from the free-throw line. Junior Prince Aligbe (Minneapolis, Minn.) added 10 points and 6-for-7 from the charity stripe.

How It Happened

Seton Hall began their season opener with a 10-6 advantage through the first eight minutes largely through strong defensive play, holding the Peacocks to 2-of-10 shooting from the floor. The game sat tied 14-14 with eight minutes left in the half, but the Pirates combined that trademark defense with strong rebounding to close the half on a 18-13 run. Entering half time, the Pirates led 32-27 off the back of Old Dominion transfer Chaunce Jenkins's team-leading 10 points, seven of which came during the end of half run.

Coming out of half, a 8-3 run by Saint Peter's tied the game at 38 after five minutes between the two New Jersey schools. The ensuing eight minutes evolved into a very physical clash with both teams combining for 21 fouls during that time span. A Saint Peter's three pointer from Jakai Sanders with 8:04 left on the clock would hand the Peacocks a 49-45 lead, their biggest of the game to that point.
As the final five minutes arrived, the physicality of the game began to take its toll with both teams in the double bonus. With 2:19 left, The Hall's offensive persistence paid dividends as the team took a 56-51. This Pirates comeback saw Chaunce Jenkins and Boston College transfer Prince Aligbe score 10 unanswered points and cause three Saint Peter's players to foul out

The Peacocks would find two points with a 1:40 left before having the opportunity to tie the game with 17 seconds left. After block from Yacine Toumi (Meudon, France) and a made free throw from Dylan Addae-Wusu (Bronx, N.Y.), the Pirates stifled the Peacocks final half court heave to secure the 57-53 victory,

It is not clear from the article how widespread the problem is. But if only one service member is prevented from voting it is an ironic travesty. Either it is an issue of incompetence, willful election interference or both. I hope we get answers.
