Park-Lane was brilliant when the Pirates needed her most, scoring 15 points on 6-for-8 shooting in the fourth quarter alone. As a team, The Hall was 7-for-10 in the final 10 minutes and connected on 13 free-throws to pull away late.

Connecticut swept the season series from the Pirates and have now won 35 straight games in the series. The Huskies own a 55-10 all-time series lead. The Hall's last victory came on Jan. 5, 1994. Lauren Park-Lane had a team-high 20 points, but The Hall fell to No. 2 Connecticut, 74-49, in a sold-out Walsh Gymnasium on Dec. 3 last season. The Pirates had a lead after the first quarter, but UConn outscored The Hall, 23-6, in the second quarter to pull away. Sidney Cooks also reached double-figures in scoring, notching 13 points. The Pirates fell victim to a 9-0 run early in the first quarter and never recovered, falling to No. 9 Connecticut, 71-38, in Gampel Pavilion on Jan. 21. Despite trailing, The Hall fought hard to hold their deficit to just 16 at the half, but the Husky defense proved formidable in the third quarter, and UConn pulled away further. Cooks led The Hall with 10 points. SCOUTING CONNECTICUT Connecticut is coming off a spectacular 2021-22 campaign that saw a final record of 30-6 overall and a 16-1 mark in BIG EAST Conference play. The Huskies routed their way to the BIG EAST Championship before advancing to the NCAA Championship game where they fell to top-ranked South Carolina, 64-49. UConn's lone loss in BIG EAST play came at home to Villanova, but the Huskies avenged their set back, beating the Wildcats by 30 in the conference title game. This year, the Huskies were again chosen as the unanimous favorite to win the BIG EAST Championship, according to the preseason coaches' poll. Forward Ayanna Patterson was selected as the BIG EAST Preseason Freshman of the Year. Junior Aaliyah Edwards, sophomore Caroline Ducharme and sophomore Azzi Fudd were named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team while graduate student Dorka Juhász was tabbed as Preseason Honorable Mention. As advertised, UConn is off to another stellar start this season and enters Wednesday's contest as the No. 9th ranked team in the country with an overall record of 8-2 and a 1-0 mark in BIG EAST play. The Huskies have been successful despite suffering a rash of injuries. Most recently, they defeated Florida State, 85-77, on Sunday without leading scorer Azzi Fudd. They were already minus Paige Bueckers and Ice Brady who have been lost for the season. UConn's lone prior BIG EAST game was a 98-53 rout of Providence on Dec. 2. UP NEXT Seton Hall will take a week off from games to enjoy the Christmas holiday, but will return on Wednesday, Dec. 28 when it hosts Georgetown in historic Walsh Gymnasium. Tip time is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. The contest will be streamed live by the BIG EAST Digital Network and available for FloHoops subscribers. Michael Stamm and Louis Pasculli will describe the action for WSOU FM.

Thanks for putting this up. I was just going to do a post about todays game.

At minimum this is a great litmus test for this year’s team. An unexpected win vs #9 UConn would be a fantastic Resume builder..Either way it would be nice to see them play a competitive game.

UConn is starting to get heathy. Connecticut is far outside our class. Doubt this is a winnable game, but you just want the team to compete.

Game is at noon today.

Down 42-24. UConn have made 8 of 12 threes.

Total destruction by UCONN even without their 2 best players and their coach but this Seton Hall team is pretty decent.

HARTFORD, CONN. – Senior Lauren Park-Lane (Wilmington, Del.) became Seton Hall's all-time assist leader and Sidney Cooks (Kenosha, Wis.) had a team-high 18 points, but the Pirates fell to No. 9 Connecticut, 98-73, at the XL Center on Wednesday.

Park-Lane entered the contest needing just two assists in her 100th career game to set the impressive career mark, and collected her second with a dish to Cooks with 13 seconds left to go before halftime.

The Hall, winners of seven straight games entering Wednesday, fell behind early by virtue of a 15-2 start by Connecticut, and never recovered as the Huskies led wire-to-wire.

Cooks had 18 points on 8-for-15 shooting, which included a pair of made three-pointers. Park-Lane finished with 17 points and a team-high four assists.

THE STORY:
Cooks hit a turnaround jumper for The Hall's first points of the game, but Connecticut scored the next 10 consecutive points to take a commanding 15-2 lead to start the contest. The Huskies stretched their run to 20-4 over 6:40 to extend their lead to 25-6 with 2:00 left in the opening quarter. The Hall scored the final two buckets of the opening stanza, but still shot just 4-for-19, while UConn was 5-for-7 from three-point range alone.

Connecticut scored seven of the first nine points to open the second quarter, which boosted their advantage to 32-12 with 7:50 to go before halftime. Down 39-18, The Hall scored six straight, and a three-point play by Mya Bembry (West Orange, N.J.) cut its deficit to 39-24 with 4:12 to go prior to the break.

UConn took a 53-31 lead into the break. The Huskies shot 63.6% from the field in the first half and had nine made three-pointers, while the Pirates shot 34.3%.

In the second half, The Hall battled, but couldn't get their deficit below 20 points.

I saw the score and my first thought was “wow they lost by only 25, not bad!” Sounds sad, but when you think about it they usually lose at Gampel by 30-40+ and they lost by 33 points up there last year, this is actually progress I’m ok with.

They were down over 30 most of the second half.
