SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - The Seton Hall women's basketball team (8-10, 1-6 BIG EAST) kicks off a season-long four-game homestand on Friday night when it hosts Providence (9-9, 1-6 BIG EAST) inside historic Walsh Gymnasium. The nationally-televised contest will be broadcast on FS2 and the FOX Sports GO app with Lisa Byington and LaChina Robinson on the call.

The Pirates are looking to get back on track in BIG EAST play, most recently dropping two games on a conference road swing. The Friars come to Walsh Gym having already eclipsed their season win total from a season ago, but are in the midst of a five-game skid in conference play. Last season The Hall swept both meetings with PC, including a 71-54 victory at Walsh on Senior Day.
