Graduate student Faith Masonius (Spring Lake, N.J.) flipped the ball over her head to score the winning basket at the buzzer as the Pirates stunned Villanova, 56-55, at Finneran Pavilion on Wednesday.

With Seton Hall down a point and only 6.5 seconds left, Kaydan Lawson (Cleveland, Ohio) grabbed the rebound off a missed free-throw and dribbled the ball up the court. She found Amari Wright (Jacksonville, Fla.) on the right wing, who swung the ball into the paint for Masonius. Masonius, corralled by four defenders, broke loose and flipped the ball backward over her head just as time expired.

Masonius finished with a team-high 17 points to go with five rebounds. Jada Eads (Orlando, Fla.) had 11 points and five rebounds. Yaya Lops (Stamford, Conn.) had a strong defensive game with four rebounds and four blocks. She also added seven points.

AGAINST GEORGETOWN
Seton Hall and Georgetown will renew their long rivalry on Jan. 4 in Walsh Gym. The Pirates own a 46-30 all-time series lead, and have dominated the matchup in recent years. The Hall has won nine of the last 10 contests. Last season, the Pirates swept the home-and-home series, with Seton Hall rallying from a 23-2 deficit in Washington to stun the Hoyas, 57-49, on Dec. 20. The Pirates routed Georgetown, 71-54, in Walsh Gym on Jan. 31.

SCOUTING GEORGETOWN
Georgetown finished sixth in the standings last season at 9-9, going 23-12 overall last year. Darnell Haney was named head coach of the Hoyas in March of 2024 after leading the team to 22 wins as interim head coach. The team's nine wins marked the most conference victories since the 2018-19 season.

Haney led his squad to an incredible run in the BIG EAST Tournament as the sixth-seeded Hoyas won three straight games to advance to the BIG EAST championship game for the first time in program history. The road to the title game also included a victory over then-No. 21 Creighton in Georgetown's first win over a team ranked in the AP poll since 2016. The Hoyas were selected to participate in the WBIT for their first postseason run since 2019. The reigning BIG EAST Co-Defensive Player of the Year and First Team All-BIG EAST honoree Kelsey Ransom is back after leading the Hoyas with 14.1 points per game.

This season, Georgetown is picked to finish fifth in the 11-team BIG EAST Conference. Ransom was named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team.

The Hoyas enter Saturday's contest with an 8-5 record overall and a 1-1 mark in BIG EAST play. Georgetown went 7-4 in non-conference and played a pair of opponents that Seton Hall also faced. They lost to Cincinnati on a neutral floor, 59-57, and defeated Howard on the road, 69-63. Most recently, Georgetown routed Xavier at home, 64-41, on Monday. Ransom currently ranks second in the BIG EAST with 20.1 points per game.

The Ladies need to come out and take it to Gtown. These next two at home are very important if they want to become a Bubble Team or better. Hopefully, they start to get back an injured player or two. They need to seize the moment with the Men's Team having a very off year. The moment to elevate this program has arrived.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Down 8 at the half. Had a rough time getting going. They were down 14. Hopefully, a good second half.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Took a 6 point lead and now down 1 at the end of three quaurters.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Hall was 0-9 from 3 in the first half and hit one after another down the strerch. Rivera on Gtown launches a three at the buzzer in regulation to tie the game.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Next Sat is an important game for their season against Creighton at home. Surviving Nova and Gtown was vital with very tough games coming. 12 wins already with 16 conference games and then the BE Tournament. They Must cutdown on the turnovers to improve.

Freshman Jada Eads scored all seven points for the Pirates in the extra session.


SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – In an instant classic, freshman Jada Eads (Orlando, Fla.) drained a go-ahead three-pointer with 52 seconds remaining in overtime to lift the Seton Hall women's basketball team 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 seven 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.

THE STORY:
After a mostly even first quarter, the Pirates missed their first eight shots of the second and didn't score until the 5:03 mark. In that time, Georgetown used an 11-0 run to build a 24-10 advantage. The Pirates didn't make a three-pointer in nine attempts in the first half, while Georgetown was 5-for-10 from beyond the arc. Despite 13 first-half turnovers, the Hoyas took a 30-22 lead into halftime.

The Pirates finally hit their first three-pointer of the game after 10 unsuccessful tries with 6:58 left in the third quarter. Eads' trifecta cut The Hall's deficit to seven, 36-29. Seton Hall turned up its defensive intensity and went on a 19-2 run to take a 43-38 lead with 3:13 to go in the third. Georgetown responded with a 7-0 run of their own to reclaim a 46-45 advantage.

A three-pointer by Eads gave The Hall a 50-46 lead a minute into the fourth quarter, but Georgetown answered with a 9-2 run to grab a 55-52 advantage with 5:03 left. Masonius hit a three-pointer with 1:34 remaining in regulation to put The Hall back in front, 60-59, but a pair of Georgetown free-throws put the Hoyas back in front. Eads connected on another big three-pointer to give Seton Hal a 63-61 advantage, but two more Hoya free throws tied the contest at 63 setting up the epic final minute.
