Azana Baines had a team-high 24 points and A'Jah Davis had a double-double in a 68-57 victory over ECU.
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Seton Hall women's basketball head coach Anthony Bozzella collected the 500th victory of his remarkable career with a 68-57 win over East Carolina in the finale of the Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship on Wednesday.
Graduate student Azana Baines (Blackwood, N.J.) erupted for a game-high 24 points on 10-for-18 shooting and A'Jah Davis (DeKalb, Ill.) had a double-double with 11 points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
The Pirates used a 21-2 run spanning the end of the first quarter and beginning of the second to take the lead and never trailed again. The game was only the second meeting between Seton Hall and East Carolina, two of three Division I teams with "Pirates" as a mascot.
Senior Amari Wright (Jacksonville, Fla.) had a game-high seven assists to go with four points, four rebounds and two steals.
THE STORY:
A layup by Baines gave The Hall an early 10-6 lead, but East Carolina responded with a 9-0 run to give it a 15-10 lead with 3:47 left in the first quarter. Seton Hall bounced back by shutting out ECU the rest of the quarter and an 11-0 run gave it a 21-15 advantage.
The Hall kept running to start the second quarter, extending its run to 21-2. A steal and score by Wright gave it a commanding 31-17 lead with 5:55 left before halftime. East Carolina charged back with a 12-0 run over the next 3:25 to cut its deficit to 31-29. A three-pointer by Micah Gray (Oklahoma City, Okla.) ended the ECU run and a jumper by Baines sent The Hall into the locker room with a 36-29 advantage.
Trailing 43-34, ECU went on an 8-2 run to cut its deficit to only three points, 45-42, but they couldn't get closer. The Hall responded with a 9-0 run and a jumper by Baines only 11 seconds into the fourth quarter popped its lead back to 11 points, 53-42.
