LAST TIME AGAINST CONNECTICUT
Graduate student Perri Lucas (Chicago, Ill.) recorded her 1,000th career kill, but the Pirates fell at Connecticut in four sets, 3-1 (19-25, 16-25, 25-21, 23-25), on Oct. 5.

Sophomores Maddy Loiselle (Tampa, Fla.) and Senna Roberts-Navarro (Honolulu, Hawaii) collected 10 kills apiece to lead The Hall's offense. Junior Hadlee Ackerman (Atlanta, Ga.) had a career-high 18 digs, while Maddie Klungel (Napa, Calif.) tallied 34 assists and nine digs.

SCOUTING CONNECTICUT
Connecticut is in the midst of a resurgent season and enters the weekend with an impressive 20-4 overall record and an 8-4 mark in BIG EAST play. UConn is coming off a pair of victories last week, a four-set win in Providence on Oct. 30 and a sweep of Butler at home on Nov. 2. Prior to last week, the Huskies had lost two in a row, most notably a five-set loss at Xavier… a team The Hall just swept in Cincinnati.

UConn is currently tied with DePaul for third place in the BIG EAST Conference. The top six teams will qualify for the BIG EAST Tournament.

Connecticut's Emma Werkmeister leads the BIG EAST with 0.68 aces per set and ranks second with 3.80 kills per set.

LAST TIME AGAINST PROVIDENCE
Seniors Jenna Walsh (Foothill Ranch, Calif.) and Maddie Klungel (Napa, Calif.) had double-doubles as the Pirates rallied for a five-set victory over Providence, 3-2 (25-20, 21-25, 22-25, 25-21, 15-12), on Oct. 4. The Hall trailed after three sets, but largely dominated the last two. In fact, the Pirates trailed only briefly after the conclusion of the third set, 1-0 and 2-1 in set five.

Walsh had a season-high 18 kills, only five attack errors, 12 digs and two blocks. Klungel had a career-high 52 assists to go with 13 digs and four blocks. Sophomore Maddy Loiselle (Tampa, Fla.) matched her career-high with 17 kills, while senior Perri Lucas (Chicago, Ill.) added 13 kills.

SCOUTING PROVIDENCE
Providence enters the weekend with a 7-16 overall record, which includes a 0-12 mark in BIG EAST play. The Friars have lost 12 straight matches, seven of which were sweeps. Most recently, Providence lost in four sets at home to Connecticut on Oct. 30 before being swept by Butler on Nov. 2.

Looking specifically at their defense, the Friars rank last in the BIG EAST in digs per set and second-to-last in blocks per set.

UP NEXT
Next week, The Hall will head back on the road for a pair of BIG EAST Conference matches. On Friday, Nov. 15, Seton Hall will head to Omaha for a match at Creighton. Two days later, the Pirates will visit Marquette in Milwaukee.
