LAST MEETING
Seton Hall and Sacred Heart haven't played in over 40 years. The last time they competed for "SHUpremacy" was on Feb. 13, 1979 when the Pirates edged out a seven-point victory. The Pioneers have never won in the series in three all-time meetings.

SCOUTING SACRED HEART
Sacred Heart finished the 2018-19 season with a 19-13 record and a semifinal loss in the NEC Tournament. The Big Red earned a bid to the WNIT, but was routed by Georgetown, 90-59 in the opening round.

Sacred Heart tied for third in the 2019-20 Preseason NEC Coaches' Poll. Junior Adrianne Hagood was named to the Preseason All-NEC Team.

Seton Hall will return to action on Saturday when it hosts Fairfield at historic Walsh Gymnasium for a special 11:00 a.m. start. The Pirate Sports Network will provide the video broadcast, and WSOU will be on the radio via 89.5 FM and wsou.net.
