The Hall Visits Boston College On Sunday Afternoon

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- The Seton Hall women's basketball team (6-2) is back on the road on Sunday afternoon for a 1 p.m. tilt at ACC foe Boston College (4-5). The Hall is looking to bounce back from its first setback of the season on Friday afternoon at Rutgers against a BC squad that it defeated at Walsh Gym last season. The contest will be streamed on ACC Network Extra via WatchESPN and available over the air on WSOU, 89.5 FM.

Sunday's contest in the Bay State will be a homecoming for Pirate graduate transfer Donnaizha Fountain, a Roxbury native who has never played in the greater Boston area during her collegiate career. Fountain is The Hall's second leading scorer with 13.1 points per game and leads the squad with 6.1 rebounds per game through her first eight games in Blue and White.
