The Hall Hosts Georgetown On Sunday

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - Quick turnaround to bounce back.

After falling at home for the first time this season on Friday night, the Seton Hall women's basketball team (12-7, 4-4 BIG EAST) is right back in action on Sunday afternoon when it plays host to Georgetown (9-10, 3-6 BIG EAST) inside Walsh Gym. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m. and will air on the BIG EAST Digital Network and FOX Sports app as well as WSOU.net.

Both squads are coming off Friday night setbacks, with the Pirates falling to Villanova while the Hoyas dropped an eight-point decision at St. John's. The two squads split their regular season series a year ago, with each team winning on its home floor.
