AGAINST QUINNIPIAC
Seton Hall and Quinnipiac will meet for the fourth time ever on Thursday, and the first time in 18 years. The Pirates have never lost to the Bobcats in three prior meetings, including a 69-64 overtime victory for The Hall in their last meeting on a neutral floor at the San Diego Surf 'N Slam on Dec. 30, 2007. These teams have never met in the postseason.
SCOUTING QUINNIPIAC
Quinnipiac will be competing in its first postseason tournament since the WNIT at the conclusion of the 2021-22 season. The Bobcats are in the midst of one of their best seasons in program history and have won 28 of their 32 games this season, which included a sparkling 18-2 record in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) play. Second-seeded Quinnipiac made it to the title game of the MAAC Tournament before falling to top-seeded Fairfield in the championship game.
Gal Raviv was named the MAAC Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year after her historic first season in Hamden. Head coach Tricia Fabbri was named the 2025 MAAC Coach of the Year. Additionally, Raviv was named to the All-MAAC First Team, while Anna Foley earned Second Team honors, and Jackie Grisdale picked up Third Team recognition.
UP NEXT
If Seton Hall defeats Quinnipiac, it will advance to the second round of the WBIT and face the winner of the game between second-seeded Stanford and Portland. Although the location and time remains to be determined, the contest will be streamed on ESPN+. 89.5 FM WSOU or wsou.net will also carry the game.
