LAST GAME
Sophomore Shailyn Pinkney (East Hartford, Conn.) provided a much-needed spark off the bench in the second half to lift the Seton Hall women's basketball team to a 77-46 victory over Central Connecticut State on Friday.
After leading by only 11 at the half, The Hall wore down the Blue Devils after halftime, thanks in large part by the spirited efforts from the bench. Pinkney scored all nine of her points in the second half, including seven in the fourth quarter.
In all, six Pirates scored at least nine points with sophomore Micah Gray (Oklahoma City, Okla.) leading the way with 17. Azana Baines (Blackwood, N.J.) and Amari Wright (Jacksonville, Fla.) had 10 points apiece. A'Jah Davis (DeKalb, Ill.) collected her second double-double of the season with 10 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.

AGAINST FDU
Seton Hall and FDU will meet for the 17th time in history on Monday with the Pirates owning a commanding 14-2 all-time series lead. The Hall has won the last five meetings with its last loss coming on Dec. 12, 1991. Most recently, the Pirates routed the Knights in the opening round of the 2022 WNIT, 67-45, in Walsh Gym. FDU did not score in the fourth quarter in that contest.
SCOUTING FDU
The Knights are coming off a 24-8 season where they went 14-2 in conference play. Following a second-straight regular season championship, the Burgundy and Blue finished last season's conference tournament with wins against Central Connecticut State and St. Francis Brooklyn, but fell short in the final against Sacred Heart.
FDU returns zero of five starters from last season, but retained five players who came off the bench: Abby Conklin, Abaigeal Babore, Allie McGinn, Mia Andrews, and Dominique García Blackwood. Adding to the roster, FDU picked up graduate student guard Nickie Carter who had an impressive undergraduate career at Division III, Montclair State where she posted 1,411 points over four years there. The Knights also gained senior forward/center Teneisia Brown, who transferred from Merrimack. FDU was selected to finish fourth in this season's NEC Preseason Coaches Poll.
The Knights enter Monday's contest with a 2-8 record. Their victories have come over Rider and Bloomfield. Most recently, FDU fell at UMES on Saturday, 54-47. The Hall defeated UMES on Dec. 2, 78-54, in Walsh Gym. FDU lost to Georgetown, another common opponent of Seton Hall, earlier this year, 60-45. Brown currently leads the Knights with 10.7 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.
