SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Sophomore Abby Thelen (Ft. Mitchell, Ky.) notched a match-high 16 kills and the Seton Hall defense held Providence to a -.009 attack percentage in a 3-0 (25-14, 25-23, 25-12) sweep on Saturday.

Seton Hall (12-14, 6-7) scored the first six points of the first set to establish the tone for the match. Leading 6-3, the Pirates went on an 8-0 run, and an ace by Miranda Higginbotham (Dallas, Texas) gave them a commanding 14-3 advantage.

Set two was undoubtedly the closest of the match. Ahead 9-7, The Hall scored four unanswered points to take a 13-7 lead. Providence however, methodically chipped away at the deficit and used an 8-2 run to draw even with the Pirates at 21. With the score tied at 23, a kill by Danielle Schroeder (Chicago, Ill.) put the Pirates in set point, and the ensuing kill by Haylee Gasser (Mission Viejo, Calif.) won the set for The Hall.

Providence scored three straight to take an early 5-4 lead in set three, but it was the final lead of the match for the Friars. The Pirates responded with a 13-1 run, which included three services aces by Schroeder, to take a 17-6 advantage. The Hall won set three in convincing fashion, 25-12.
