Cooks was brilliant, connecting on her first nine shots, and collecting her season-high before halftime. She finished 15-for-22 from the floor for a career-high 32 points to go with team-highs of 10 rebounds and seven blocks.

Seton Hall trailed by only four with 2:31 left in the third, but DePaul, the nation's top scoring team, scored the last seven points of the quarter, and pulled away in the fourth by out-scoring the Pirates, 20-to-11. Park-Lane finished with 12 points to go with six assists and five rebounds.

SCOUTING DE PAUL
The Blue Demons are coming off a 14-10 campaign during the abbreviated 2020-21 season, which included an 11-5 mark in BIG EAST play. DePaul was bounced from the BIG EAST Tournament in overtime, but still qualified for the WNIT. They defeated Saint Louis in the first round, but lost to Drake.

This year, DePaul is predicted to finish second in the 11-team BIG EAST Conference, according to the Preseason Coaches' Poll. Both Sonya Morris and Lexi Held were named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team.

DePaul enters its contest with Seton Hall with a 21-8 overall record and a 13-5 mark in conference play. The Blue Demons have clinched a bye in the opening round of the BIG EAST Tournament, but are coming off a 73-64 loss at Villanova on Sunday.

94-90 Seton Hall wins

 

[SPK145]

Big road upset win.

 

[SHUisNJsTeam]

Great game for the ladies!

 

[SHU_Pirate1]

Big win for the ladies! Quite a turnaround for the season. Congrats!🙌

 

[TheHall87]

That's a nice win for the ladies.

They've had some solid wins in conference play with wins over Villanova, DePaul and Marquette (third, four and fifth respectively) plus a double OT loss to second place Creighton.

They've at least shown some glimpses of the promise this season had. Unfortunately, any NCAA hopes hang on winning the BET.

 

[Halldan1]

Now healthy and playing the second best of any team in the league. Unfortunately UConn is in a class by themselves.

Park-Lane scores 31 points, including her 1,000th, as Seton Hall wins for the eighth time in nine games.​

CHICAGO – Junior Lauren Park-Lane (Wilmington, Del.) scored 31 points, including the 1,000th of her career, and Sidney Cooks (Kenosha, Wis.) added 25 more to fuel the Seton Hall women's basketball team to a dramatic road victory over DePaul, 94-90, on Friday.

Park-Lane scored 17 of her game-high 31 points in the third quarter as the Pirates claimed a lead they never relinquished in the fourth. Seton Hall's victory is its eighth in the last nine games and guarantees an above .500 season in BIG EAST play.

The dynamic point guard was 5-for-8 from three-point range, had six rebounds, six assists and two steals. Cooks collected her fourth double-double in the last five games with 25 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks. Junior Mya Jackson (Wilmington, Ohio) made her return from injury with 16 points on the strength of 3-for-5 shooting from three-point range. Andra Espinoza-Hunter (Ossining, N.Y.) finished with 12 points, eight rebounds, five assists and three steals.

The Story:
DePaul scored the first bucket of the game, but the Pirates responded with an 8-2 run fueled by six early points from Cooks. A three-pointer by Jackson gave The Hall a 15-10 lead, but the Blue Demons bounced back with a 10-2 burst to give them a 20-17 advantage with 2:17 left in the first quarter. The Hall, however, scored the last six points of the first quarter and held a 23-20 lead after the first 10 minutes.

A pair of free-throws by Espinoza-Hunter extended The Hall's lead to 25-22, but DePaul bounced back with an 11-0 run to jump ahead 33-25 with 6:04 left in the second quarter. Another three-pointer by Jackson cut the Pirates' deficit to 36-30, but DePaul answered with the next five points to grab a commanding 41-30 advantage with 4:59 to go before the break. Down 44-35, the Pirates closed out the first half with an 8-0 run, and Park-Lane's buzzer-beater not only put her over 1,000 points for her career, but sent the Pirates into the locker room down only one, 44-43.

Down 47-45 early in the second half, Park-Lane took over. The point guard scored the next 13 points for the Pirates and her three-pointer with 6:21 to go in the third gave them a 58-52 lead. A turnaround jumper in the paint by Cooks gave The Hall a 62-55 lead, but DePaul bounced back and outscored the Pirates, 13-5, over the next three minutes to take a 68-67 advantage with 2:05 left in the third. The Hall finished strong, however, and a driving layup by Park-Lane and three-pointer by Cooks put it back in front, 72-68, entering the fourth quarter.

Although the Pirates' lead was reduced to only two points on four different occasions in the fourth, the Pirates never trailed. A jumper by Park-Lane with 5:32 remaining extended the Pirates' lead to 10 points, 85-75. DePaul, however, rallied with a 9-1 run to cut its deficit to 86-84 with 3:26 to go. Up 90-88, Seton Hall's defense was magnificent in the final 1:30, holding the Blue Demons to just 1-for-6 shooting, while Espinoza-Hunter connected on four straight free-throws to ice the Pirates' victory.
