Pirates Head West, Visit UCLA on Sunday

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Riding a 4-0 start, the Seton Hall women's basketball team flips coasts this weekend when it heads to Westwood to take on UCLA (2-1) on Sunday afternoon. Tip-off from Pauley Pavilion is set for 5 p.m. (ET), airing on Pac-12.com and WSOU, 89.5 FM.
