LAST GAME
In an instant classic, freshman Jada Eads (Orlando, Fla.) drained a go-ahead three-pointer with 52 seconds remaining in overtime to lift the Pirates to a thrilling 74-71 victory over Georgetown on Saturday in Walsh Gymnasium.
With the score tied at 63, Kaydan Lawson (Cleveland, Ohio) appeared to hit the game-winner with a corner three-pointer with only three seconds left, but Georgetown's Victoria Rivera hit a buzzer-beater from just inside half court to send the game into overtime.
In the extra session, Eads scored all eight points for Seton Hall, including the game-winning three with under a minute remaining. After the Pirates forced a turnover, Eads was fouled and iced the game with a pair of made free-throws. Eads finished with a career-high 27 points to go with seven assists, four rebounds and four steals. Faith Masonius (Spring Lake, N.J.) tallied 21 points, six rebounds and six assists. Yaya Lops (Stamford, Conn.) had 17 points, which put her over 1,000 for her career, to go with three rebounds, three steals and four blocks.

Creighton went 26-6 overall and 15-3 in BIG EAST play a season ago, finishing in second place in the standings and advancing to the BIG EAST Tournament Semifinals.
The Bluejays have earned five NCAA Tournament berths since joining the BIG EAST before the 2013-14 season. They most recently made it through to the second round where they fell to No. 6 UCLA (67-63).
This season, Creighton is picked to finish second in the 11-team BIG EAST Conference. Jensen and Maly were named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team.
