PALM SPRINGS, CALIF. – Graduate student Faith Masonius (Spring Lake, N.J.) scored a career-high 25 points, but the Seton Hall women's basketball team fell to No. 6 USC, 84-51, at the Acrisure Holiday Invitational on Wednesday.

A USC run late in the first quarter gave the Women of Troy a lead they never relinquished. The USC roster, which features five players that are at least 6-foot-2, badly out-rebounded the Pirates, 56-to-27, which included a 22-to-11 edge on the offensive glass.

Masonius was brilliant, collecting a career-high on 11-for-21 shooting, and 3-for-6 from three-point range, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer to close the third quarter. It's her fourth game with at least 20 points in Seton Hall's first six games this season.

THE STORY:
Seton Hall fought tough with the Women of Troy in the early goings of the first quarter. A jumper by Masonius cut The Hall's deficit to 10-9 with 6:05 left in the opening quarter, but USC closed out the quarter with a 17-4 run to take a commanding 27-13 advantage into the second. USC shot 61.1 percent from the field in the first 10 minutes.

The Pirates' defense upped its pressure in the second quarter and limited the Women of Troy to just 35.3 percent from the floor, but they weren't able to cut into USC's lead. The Hall was badly beaten on the glass, 28-10, in the first half and took a 42-26 deficit into the locker room at the half.

Trailing 44-26, The Hall went on a 9-0 run, and a layup by Savannah Catalon (Mansfield, Texas) cut USC's lead to 44-35 with 7:15 left in the third quarter. The Women of Troy, however, answered with a 16-2 burst to boost its advantage back to 60-37 with 53 seconds left in the third. The Pirates never got the game closer than an 18-point deficit the rest of the way.



THE NUMBERS:

• Seton Hall was 21-for-65 (32.3%) from the floor for the game, while USC was 34-for-69 (49.3%). The Hall was 5-for-23 (21.7%) from three-point range, while the Women of Troy were 6-for-21 (28.6%).
• Masonius had a career-high 25 points on 11-for-21 shooting, including 3-for-6 from three-point range. She also grabbed three rebounds.
• USC out-rebounded The Hall, 56-to-27, which included a 22-to-11 edge on the offensive glass and a 23-to-8 advantage in second-chance points.
• Yaya Lops (Stamford, Conn.) had nine points, five rebounds and two blocks.
• Seton Hall was 4-for-9 (44.4%) from the free-throw line, while USC was 10-for-16 (62.5%).
• Seton Hall forced 16 turnovers, while the Women of Troy forced 13. USC had a 17-to-10 advantage in points-off-turnovers.

THE NOTES:

• Seton Hall drops to 4-2, while USC improves to 5-1.
• The Hall is now 0-5 all-time against the Women of Troy.
• Masonius has now scored at least 20 points in four of Seton Hall's six games this season.
• Tonight was Wright's 115th career game played, which is tied for 14th most in Seton Hall history.
• Masonius has now scored in double-figures in nine straight games, which includes her final three contests at Maryland.
