LAST GAME
Freshman Jada Eads (Orlando, Fla.) had a team-high 14 points, but the Seton Hall women's basketball team fell at No. 6 Connecticut, 96-36, in Gampel Pavilion on Sunday
Even for a team that has become accustomed to winning, emotions were high for Connecticut as Paige Bueckers surpassed 2,000 career points and Aubrey Griffin made her return from a torn ACL after missing well over a year. Add in the fact that the Huskies hadn't played at Gampel Pavilion since Dec. 3, and it was the perfect storm against the Pirates.
Eads had 14 points with four rebounds and four steals. Junior Messiah Hunter (Hopewell, Va.) matched her career-high with seven points to go with three rebounds. Faith Masonius (Spring Lake, N.J.) had eight points and a team-best six rebounds.
Seton Hall All-Time vs. the Red Storm: St. John's leads, 50-39
2023-24 Meetings:
St. John's 68, Seton Hall 57 (F) – Feb. 13, 2024 (Carnesecca Arena)

AGAINST ST. JOHN'S
Seton Hall and St. John's will renew their lengthy BIG EAST rivalry when the Red Storm visit Walsh Gym on Saturday. St. John's owns a 50-39 all-time series lead, but the Pirates have enjoyed wins in six of the last eight games. Last season, the teams split the home-and-home series. Seton Hall won in overtime in Walsh Gym on Jan. 22.
SCOUTING ST. JOHN'S
St. John's looks to replace leading scorers Unique Drake and Jillian Archer, who helped lead the Red Storm to an 18-15 overall record in 2023-24 and an 11-8 mark in BIG EAST play. Ber'Nyah Mayo returns after finishing last season averaging 10.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 33 games. The Red Storm welcome four transfers, including Miami transfer Lashae Dwyer who played 35 games for the Hurricanes. St. John's earned one of the BIG EAST's four bids to the inaugural Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament (WBIT) where they made it to the second round last season.
This season, St. John's is picked to finish fourth in the 11-team BIG EAST Conference. Mayo was named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team.
St. John's finished the non-conference portion of its schedule with an impressive 10-1 record, but has faced a tough go since entering BIG EAST play. The Red Storm enter Saturday's contest with a 1-7 record in conference play with their lone victory coming in Cincinnati against Xavier. Notable non-conference victories came against high-majors Penn State and Wake Forest. Dwyer currently leads the Red Storm with 13.5 points per game.
UP NEXT
Seton Hall will return to action on Wednesday, Jan. 29 when it hosts Butler for a BIG EAST clash. Tip time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET. The contest will be streamed by the BIG EAST Digital Network and available to FloCollege subscribers. 89.5 FM WSOU or wsou.net will also carry the game.
