Seton Hall is coming off a strong first weekend of BIG EAST Conference play. The Pirates outlasted Butler on Friday in five sets for their first BIG EAST win of the season. Sophomore Cherise Hennigan had a career-high 23 kills and a team-best .364 attack percentage in the win. Tessa Fournier had a season-high 33 digs. On Saturday, The Hall downed Xavier in four sets. Sophomore Abby Thelen had a match-high 17 kills to go with seven digs, while Sophia Coffey finished one dig shy of a double-double for the third consecutive match.

Georgetown enters Tuesday's matchup with a 5-10 overall record and a mark of 1-1 in conference play. The Hoyas opened BIG EAST play last Tuesday with a four-set loss at home to St. John's. They bounced back however, with a surprising sweep at Villanova on Saturday. Seton Hall and Georgetown have had one common opponent so far this year. The Hoyas lost to Towson in four sets on Sept. 9, while the Pirates were able to defeat the Tigers in four sets back on Sept. 3. Georgetown has won 22 of 25 all-time meetings with the Pirates, including their last meeting a five-set victory in Walsh Gym last season.

On Saturday, the Pirates will make the short trip to Queens, N.Y. to take on St. John's. Match time is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. Updated notes and a preview will be released on Friday.
