Graduate student Yaya Lops (Stamford, Conn.) finished with 15 points, a new high for her Seton Hall career, to go with six rebounds. Amari Wright (Jacksonville, Fla.) nearly had a double-double, finishing with nine points, 10 assists, only one turnover and four steals.

Last Meeting:
Seton Hall 78, Fordham 72 (F) – December 17, 2022 (Rose Hill Gym)

AGAINST FORDHAM
Seton Hall and Fordham will meet for the 14th time in history on Tuesday with the Pirates having won eight of the prior 13 meetings. Most recently, The Hall defeated the Rams, 78-72, in the Bronx on Dec. 17, 2022. The Pirates have won three of the last four meetings. Their last meeting in Walsh Gym, however, was an 82-63 victory for Fordham on Nov. 13, 2021.

SCOUTING FORDHAM
Fordham is coming off a 13-17 season a year ago, which included a 8-10 mark in Atlantic 10 Conference play. The Rams caught fire down the stretch, winning six of their final seven games of the regular season, but exited the Atlantic 10 Tournament with a one-point loss in the first round to Loyola-Chicago.

Taylor Donaldson led the Atlantic 10 with 17.9 points per game and ranked second in steals per game, earning Second Team All-Conference and All-Met honors at season's end. Following her stellar senior campaign, Donaldson elected to return for a fifth season, and will look to lead the Maroon and White once again this year.

This year, the Rams were picked to finish ninth in the 15-team league according to the preseason coaches' poll. Donaldson was named a Preseason First-Team All-Conference selection.

Fordham enters Tuesday's contest with a 1-1 record. The Rams dropped a 58-50 decision to Adelphi in the season-opener, but bounced back with a 66-51 victory over Cal St. Fullerton on Friday. Through two games, Chae Harris leads the team with 11.5 points per game. Irene Murua is averaging 8.5 points and a team-best 7.5 rebounds per game.

UP NEXT
Seton Hall will return to action on Saturday, November 16 when it hosts non-conference foe, Bryant. Tip time is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. The contest will be streamed live by the Pirate Sports Network and available for FloHoops subscribers. 89.5 FM WSOU or wsou.net will also carry the game.

The Hall soars to 2-0 on the young season with a second-straight convincing victory.

The Hall trailed for only the first 1:47 of the contest despite not having a great shooting night. Seton Hall shot only 35.5 percent from the floor, compared to Fordham's 39.5 percent. The Pirates, however, forced 24 turnovers, and committed only 11.

Masonius, the reigning BIG EAST Player of the Week, flirted with a triple-double, finishing with 17 points, six rebounds and six assists. Lops had 17 points, four rebounds and drilled a pair of three-pointers.

Although she didn't have a great shooting night, sophomore Savannah Catalon (Mansfield, Texas) drew six charges defensively. Another defensive star, Amari Wright (Jacksonville, Fla.) had five steals.

THE STORY:
Fordham scored the first bucket of the game, but the Pirates roared to life with a 15-0 run, fueled by a three-point play by Wright and a three-pointers from beyond the arc by Masonius and Shailyn Pinkney (East Hartford, Conn.). Leading 25-19, The Hall took off again, and a 7-0 burst highlighted by a Nicole Melious (Staten Island, N.Y.) trifecta, gave it a 32-19 lead with 2:59 left in the first half.

The Pirates forced 15 Fordham turnovers in the first 20 minutes and took a 38-23 lead into halftime.

Leading by 21 points, Seton Hall had a scoring drought of 5:15, but Fordham could only reduce its deficit to 46-31 with 2:28 left in the third quarter. The Pirates re-found their shooting touch and outscored the Rams, 8-4 in the final two minutes of the quarter.

Seton Hall's lead ballooned to as many as 29 points, 66-37, on a put-back by Kaydan Lawson (Cleveland, Ohio) with 3:20 left in the contest.

I was there last night. I know you cannot compare women and men's BB but the big difference I see is that the women are better free throw shooters by far and run very good half court sets with much more crisp passing rather then senseless dribbling . The women's game was a fun watch. Curious to see how they will perform in the Big East . The weakness I see though is height and rebounding . GO PIRATES !!!!!!

 

[Halldan1]

One big difference. The women do not put anywhere near the pressure on defense in the halfcourt that the men do.

That said, our aimless dribbling down the shot clock is infuriating.
