FIRST MEETING THIS YEAR
Graduate student Azana Baines (Blackwood, N.J.) scored a game-high 21 points, but the Pirates couldn't find its offensive footing for a third straight game in a 50-45 loss to Villanova on Jan. 3.
The Pirates shot under 30 percent from the floor for a second straight game and were just 2-for-12 from three-point range. Defensively, The Hall was brilliant again, holding a seventh consecutive opponent under 55 points. The Hall trailed by 10 points with under 4:00 minutes left and managed to cut its deficit to just four points, but couldn't complete the comeback.
Baines scored a game-high 21 points on 8-for-16 shooting and pulled down seven rebounds with three blocks.
Senior Amari Wright (Jacksonville, Fla.) didn't put up gaudy numbers, but played excellent defense on Villanova's Lucy Olsen. Olsen, the BIG EAST's leader in scoring, managed only 10 points on 4-for-17 shooting against Wright and the Pirates.
