HAMILTON, N.Y. – Junior Wanxi Sun (Danville, Calif.) is the individual leader and the Seton Hall men's golf team has a seven-stroke team lead entering Sunday's final round of the Alex Lagowitz Memorial.

Sun put together two brilliant rounds on Saturday to vault to the individual lead. He was without blemish in round one, shooting five birdies and 13 pars in route to a 5-under-par, 67. In the afternoon, Sun finally committed his first bogey, but also collected three pars and an eagle on the par-5, 12th hole. For round two, he was 4-under-par with a 68.

Entering Sunday's final round, Sun is 9-under-par with a 67-68-135. He leads the field of 91 golfers by three strokes.

As a team, Seton Hall shot one of its best rounds in program history in the morning. The Pirates had an 11-under-par, 277, in round one, which is tied for the second-lowest par-72, single-round in Seton Hall history. The Hall followed it up with an 8-under-par, 280, in round two. Entering Sunday's final round, the Pirates lead the field with a 19-under-par, 277-280-557 and have a seven-stroke lead on Yale.

Seton Hall's lone BIG EAST competition, Villanova, is a distance 4-over-par through 36 holes.

Senior Wenliang Xie (Zhaoqing, China) fired a 1-under-par, 71, in round one, and improved in the afternoon. In round two, he used five birdies and 12 pars to fuel a 3-under-par, 69. Entering round three, Xie is tied for third overall with a 4-under-par, 71-69-140.

Playing in his first career collegiate tournament, freshman George Fricker (Woodbridge, England) looked every bit the veteran. He had six birdies in round one in route to a 2-under-par, 70. In round two, he had 15 pars to power a 1-under-par, 71. Currently, Fricker is tied for sixth overall with a 3-under-par, 70-71-141.

Angus O'Brien (Barwon Heads, Australia) had a terrific opening round, using five birdies to fuel a 3-under-par, 69. The sophomore shot a 5-over-par, 77, in round two, but is currently tied for 26th overall with a 2-over-par, 69-77-146.

Freshman Jack Bosworth (Simsbury, Conn.) shot a 4-over-par, 76, in the opening round, but used 14 pars and two birdies to shave off four strokes in round two. Through two rounds, he's tied for 32nd place with a 4-over-par, 76-72-148.

Rounding out the Pirates' lineup was junior Brody Hanley (Lantana, Texas). Hanley shot a 6-over-par, 78, in round one, but also improved mightily in round two. In the afternoon, he had three birdies in route to a 3-over-par, 75. He's currently 9-over-par with a 78-75-153.

Two additional Pirates made the trip and are competing as individuals. Sophomore Joshua Lee (Lantana, Texas) is currently tied with Bosworth at 4-over-par. He opened with a 3-over-par, 75, and shaved two strokes off in the afternoon thanks to two birdies and 13 pars. Freshman David Lally (Wicklow, Ireland) is currently 13-over-par with an 80-77-157.

Host: Colgate University
Location: Hamilton, N.Y.
Course: Seven Oaks Golf Club
Course Vitals: Par-72, 6,834 yards
Dates: September 3-4, 2022


THE COURSE:
Named for the ancestral home of the Colgate family, Seven Oaks Golf Club is nestled on the Colgate University Campus at the upper end of the Chenango Valley, in Hamilton, New York. In 1934, a young architect by the name of Robert Trent Jones was brought to Hamilton to begin work on designing the course as one of his first projects. Unfortunately, due to the great depression and WWII, the course and his plans were continuously postponed.

Jones was called back many times throughout the following years to redesign the course before a final version was accepted and it was not until 1956 that ground was broken on the first nine holes, officially opening on July 4th, 1958. Construction for the remainder of the course soon began and on September 4th, 1965 the last nine holes were opened for play.

Seven Oaks is characteristic of all Jones' courses, which include strategic deployment of water, along with extensive tee areas and large, expansive greens.

THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Colgate, the field includes 12 other schools: Binghamton, Bucknell, Canisius, Cornell, Lafayette, Lehigh, Rhode Island, Robert Morris, St. Bonaventure, and Yale. Fellow BIG EAST opponent, Villanova, is also in the field.

Pennsylvania, with former Seton Hall head coach Clay White at the helm, is also in the field of 14.

THE FORMAT:
Teams will play six golfers and count the four lowest scores per round.

THE SCHEDULE:
The teams will play 36 continuous holes on Saturday, and one final round on Sunday. Both days will begin with a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m.

THE RESULTS:
Live scoring will be available throughout the tournament via Golfstat.com. Complete results of each day's events will also be available following competition at SHUpirates.com.

Rowdy arenas and historic venues make college hoops great and these are the best and most intimidating in the sport​

By Matt Norlander

CBS Sports' Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander surveyed roughly 100 coaches for our annual Candid Coaches series. They polled everyone from head coaches at elite programs to assistants at small Division I schools. In exchange for complete anonymity, these coaches provided unfiltered honesty about a number of topics. Over the next few weeks, we'll be posting the results of our summer survey on the state of college basketball.

If you compiled a list about the best things about college basketball -- the features, quirks and ingredients that make the sport great -- the obvious go-to atop such a list is the majesty and spectacle that is the NCAA Tournament. But No. 2, as far as I'm concerned, is the frenzied, intoxicating environments within so many of the sport's treasured venues. The in-arena experience, but also how that excitement also translates to television, is one of college basketball's viable selling points over the NBA.

There are well over 100 barns that bear characteristics, intimidations and histories that make them distinct. Among all these enchanting hoops theaters, which rank as the very best? There's no better group to ask than the people who've experienced the highs and lows of being in these buildings for years, some for well over half their lives: the coaches.

Let's see what they had to say. Each coach polled was asked to submit their top three when we asked ...

Sophomore Anna Holland was also named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll.​

NEW YORK – Seton Hall's Asli Subasili (Tekirdag, Turkey) was named BIG EAST Women's Volleyball Freshman of the Week, and Anna Holland (Waukesha, Wis.) earned Weekly Honor Roll status on Monday.

Subasili continued to impress last week, playing significant time on the Pirates' front line as a freshman. She played in all 14 sets and proved to be a force both offensively and defensively. On Tuesday, she had four kills and two blocks against Hofstra. Subasili erupted for five blocks and three aces against George Mason on Friday night. Against Iona on Saturday, she blocked four shots and served up four aces.

Subasili is Seton Hall's first BIG EAST Freshman of the Week since the 2020 season.

Holland again anchored the Pirates back line defensively starting at libero for all four matches last week. The sophomore led The Hall with 4.07 digs over 14 sets. After nine and eight dig performances against Hofstra and George Mason respectively, Holland erupted for a season-high 26 digs to go with five assists in Seton Hall's four-set win over Akron on Saturday. In Saturday's nightcap, she was just one assist shy of a double-double, recording 14 digs and nine assists. For her efforts, Holland was named to the All-Tournament Team of the Seton Hall Invitational.

Villanova's Rose Crist was named BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week, while Providence's Mackenzie Taylor earned Defensive Player of the Week. Joining Holland on the Weekly Honor Roll are Connecticut's Taylor Pannell, Creighton's Keeley Davis, Marquette's Ella Foti and Xavier's Carrigan O'Reilly.

Seton Hall will return to action this weekend when it travels to the Sacred Heart Invitational. The Pirates will face host Sacred Heart on Saturday before playing both Stony Brook and Princeton on Sunday.

NEW YORK – Seton Hall's Luca Dahn (Kahl, Germany) was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday afternoon. Hannes Ronnholmen (Stockholm, Sweden) was also named to the conference's weekly honor roll.

Dahn was a key part of Seton Hall's 1-0 shutout victory over No. 10 Oregon State on Friday night. The graduate student played all 90 minutes, marking the 36th time in his 38 career matches that he has played wire-to-wire. The Pirates faced 15 shots from Oregon State, however Dahn and the defense held the Beavers to just four shots on target. Dahn was also called into action to defend numerous set pieces throughout the night, as Oregon State tallied 12 corner kicks but were unable to cash in.

Dahn earns his second BIG EAST weekly honor of the season, as he was named to the honor roll last week.

Ronnholmen was strong in goal for the Pirates, making three saves in the victory on Friday night. In the final moments of the match with the Beavers amping up the pressure, the senior made a big save on a blistering shot from the Oregon State's Nicklas Lund to help preserve the win. Seton Hall has allowed just one goal through the first three matches of the season, the program's best defensive start to a season since 2005.

The Pirates wrap up their west coast trip on Monday night as they visit Portland at 8:30 p.m.

The College Football Playoff will be changing in a big way.

The Post confirmed that after a meeting Friday, the CFP Board of Directors made the decision to increase the number of teams in the postseason tournament from four – not to eight, as some were expecting, but 12.

ESPN’s Pete Thamel was first to report the expansion. Sports Illustrated reported that the decision was unanimous, and that the implementation date will be left up to the conference commissioners to decide, though, according to The Post’s Zach Braziller, the goal is for it to start as soon as 2024.

The expectation is that the field will be the six highest-ranked conference champions and six at-larges.

The motivation for the expansion — money, according to Thamel — renewed once USC and UCLA joined the Big Ten, per Braziller.

The CFP board is expected to announce the decision later today.

BE THE BEST, BEAT THE BEST
The Pirates face a tough slate of six non-conference matches to begin the 2022 season, four of which will be away from home. Of those six non-league foes, five of them finished last season with a winning record. This year, the Pirates will take on five teams who finished inside the top-25 in RPI last season (Oregon State: 2, Georgetown: 4, Providence: 14, Creighton: 17, Villanova: 23). The Pirates will also face seven teams that reached the NCAA Tournament in 2021, all of which won at least one match.

The Hall will be facing some of the top teams in the country this season. Along with preseason No. 5 Oregon State, the Pirates also have preseason No. 2 Georgetown on their conference slate. This marks the first time since 2010 that Seton Hall will face two preseason top-five teams in the United Soccer Coaches rankings in the same season.

Started a thread a while back, asking if anyone knew how many season ticket holders we had in 2021/22. Being a season ticket holder, I pay/donate $460 per ticket to Pirate Blue - I assume that all season ticket holders make a contribution. The reason for my question was to figure out how much Pirate Blue makes from season ticket donations. Let's say the Hall has 2,500 season ticket holders, at an average of $400 per ticket Pirate Blue is collecting $1,000,000 from ticket sales. I would guess the actual number is somewhat higher.

Going forward, Pirate Blue should focus all of their work on NIL for our athletes. Rules, however, prevent a SHU affiliated organization from supporting NIL. Perhaps season ticket holders should be directed to donate to a non-affiliated organization specifically to support NIL for SHU athletes.

I've spoken with Eric and he mentioned that $1,000,000 a year would put SHU in a very favorable position with recruits. The powers that be need to figure out how to make this work. The money is there and doesn't require soliciting donations from fans or alumni, the season ticket holders can fill the pot with nothing more than they currently contribute. No need to reinvent the wheel, NIL has to be the number one priority and a different iteration of Pirate Blue would be a logical answer.

Just when you thought it was safe to watch the news...

South Orange, N.J. — The Seton Hall women's soccer team flipped the script from the first half to the second as the Pirates tallied six of their eight shots after halftime in a 0-0 draw against Delaware at Owen T. Carroll Field on Sunday afternoon.

Junior Maille McDermott (Nashua, N.H.) had an active 60 minutes off the bench, leading the Pirates with two shots and a shot on goal. Senior Grace Gordon (Chester Springs, Pa.) saved three shots by the Blue Hens and faced 11 shots. The Pirates (2-1-2) haven't allowed a goal in their last three matches.

How It Happened

Delaware, looking to avenge a loss to The Hall on their home turf last season, controlled the pace in the first half. They racked up 10 shots in the first 45 minutes compared to just two for Seton Hall. However, of those 10 shots, only one was on target.

After halftime, the Pirates produced six shots to Delaware's one and registered three corner kick opportunities. Their final corner attempt with just over three minutes to play nearly resulted in goal as junior Brina Micheels (Plattsburgh, N.Y.) drove the ball to the far post and it fell between senior Abbie Roberts (Bedfordshire, England) and sophomore Phoebe Hampson (Cheshire, England). Despite the Pirates catching the keeper being off her line, Delaware was able to clear one of the Pirates' best scoring chances of the contest.

The other strong chance came three minutes into the second half when a ball delivered from freshman Emma Sheehan (Argyle, Texas) just past midfield found McDermott outside the six-yard box. McDermott put a good strike on the ball but the keeper was able to deflect it away.

New & Notes

• The Pirates took two draws and a 2-0 win over Saint Joseph's in their last games at home.
• On a hot day that featured a water break in both halves, 20 players saw the pitch for the Pirates.
• Roberts, sophomore Natalie Tavana (Middletown, Conn.) and sophomore Chiara Pucci (Munich, Germany) played the full 90 minutes.
• Hampson posted her first career shot on goal in the 22nd minute in the first half.

Up Next

The Pirates will be on the road for their next two matches, starting with a 7 p.m. contest at Lafayette on Thursday, Sept. 8, and followed by a 1 p.m. fixture at Iona on Sunday, Sept. 11.

Reagan Hopp has a season-high 11 kills and Taylor Jakubowski nets a double-double in the Pirates' win.​

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Senior Reagan Hopp (Carmel, Ind.) had a season-high 11 kills and Taylor Jakubowski (Lake in the Hills, Ill.) tallied a double-double as the Seton Hall women's volleyball team swept Iona to claim the Seton Hall Invitational title on Saturday.

The Hall claims the tournament title as the only team that went a perfect 3-0 this weekend. It's the Pirates' second straight tournament championship after opening the season with the Temple Invitational title last weekend.

Hopp narrowly missed a double-double with a match-high 11 kills to go with nine digs and a .391 attack percentage. Sophomore Anna Holland (Waukesha, Wis.), who was named to the All-Tournament Team, also barely missed a double-double, finishing with a team-high 14 digs and nine assists.

Jakubowski did record a double-double, the first of the season for any Pirate, finishing with 13 digs and 12 assists.

A kill by Jakubowski put the Pirates in set point, 24-19, but Iona responded by staving off four straight set points to pull to within 24-23. Fortunately for the Pirates, an Iona service error gave them the final point they needed in a 25-23 victory. Neither team had an attack percentage over .100 in the opening frame.

SET 2:
The second set was the closest of the match and featured four lead changes and 13 ties. A kill by Perri Lucas (Chicago, Ill.) put The Hall up, 21-19, but the Gaels responded with three of the next four points to tie the set at 22. With the score tied at 23, back-to-back kills by Jenna Walsh (Foothill Ranch, Calif.) won the set for the Pirates. Lucas had a monster second effort, tallying six kills and only one attack error in the second set alone.

SET 3:
The Hall led for most of the third set and grabbed a 10-6 lead on a kill by Laila Wallace (Munster, Ind.). Leading 12-10, the Pirates scored four of the next five points, and an ace by Jakubowski extended The Hall's lead to 16-11. Iona cut Seton Hall's lead to only two points, 21-19, but the Pirates scored three straight points to enter match point, 24-19. Iona staved off two match points, but a service error handed the match to The Hall.

Corvallis, Ore. – The Pirates began their west coast non-conference swing on the right foot on Friday night, taking down No. 10 Oregon State, 1-0. Andrea Borg's (Sliema, Malta) found the back of the net in the 59th minute to give Seton Hall an advantage that it would not relinquish.

How it Happened
Oregon State controlled the majority of possession in the early going, and went into the locker room at halftime with a 6-1 edge in shots. The Beavers put a pair of shots on frame, as Hannes Ronnholmen (Stockholm, Sweden) punched away a shot from Ellis Spikner in the 15th minute. On the ensuing corner kick, Liam Guske (St. John's, Fla.) stood strong on the goal line in keeping another shot out.

Seton Hall translated its momentum on the defensive side of the ball to its attacking third in the early stages of the second half. After a free kick pinballed around in the penalty area, Mattias Almeida Sundell (Sweden) nicely settled and fired the ball on frame, where Oregon State keeper Luis Castillo was forced to make the stop.

The moment for the Pirates came in the 59th minute, as Axel Berglund (Turku, Finland) played a ball forward for Borg. The pass led Borg into the penalty area, and on his second touch, blasted one past the outstretched arms of Castillo to give Seton Hall the 1-0 lead.

The Pirates faced pressure from the Beavers late, as seven of Oregon State's nine second half shots came after the Borg goal. The most threatening shot came in the 90th minute, as off a corner kick Nicklas Lund fired a shot towards goal, but Ronnholmen reacted in time to keep the Pirate lead intact.

Inside the Numbers

• While the Pirates were outshot 15-6, the margin in shots on goal was much thinner with the Beavers holding just a 4-3 edge in that department.
• Borg is now the fifth different Pirate to find the back of the net so far this season
• Berglund's assist was the first point of his collegiate career

News & Notes

• This is Seton Hall's first win over a top-10 team in the United Soccer Coaches Poll since defeating No. 2 Georgetown to win the BIG EAST title on Apr. 17, 2021.
• The win also marks the first time the Pirates have defeated a top-10 non-conference foe on the road since winning at No. 3 Virginia in the 2001 NCAA Tournament.
• The Pirates have conceded just one goal through three matches, their best start since 2005 when they allowed zero goals through the first three matches of the year.
• Seton Hall has opened with a 2-0-1 record for the third straight season.
• Andreas Lindberg is now two wins away from reaching the 200 career win mark.
