LAST GAME
Junior Mya Bembry (West Orange, N.J.) collected her first career double-double and Lauren Park-Lane (Wilmington, Del.) had a team-high 23 points, but the Seton Hall women's basketball team fell at St. John's, 88-75, on Sunday.

The Red Storm used a 7-0 run to end the first quarter and take an eight-point lead into the second, and that proved to be the difference. The teams played mostly even basketball for the final three stanzas. St. John's shot 58.9% from the field for the game, by far a season-high for a Pirate opponent, and were only called for one foul over the game's first 31:09.

Bembry made her first start of the season and matched her career-high with 14 points in the first half alone. She pulled down a career-best 13 rebounds and played a career-most 38 minutes. Park-Lane had a team-high 23 points and a game-high seven assists with just one turnover. Sidney Cooks (Kenosha, Wis.) had 17 points, four rebounds and a career-high five assists.

LAST TIME AGAINST PRINCETON
Alexis Lewis led a trio of Pirates to score at least 20 points, but the Pirates were edged by Princeton, 78-76, at historic Walsh Gymnasium on Dec. 15, 2019.

Lewis erupted for a career-high 27 points on an efficient 9-for-12 from the field. She also had seven rebounds and a team-best five steals in a strong all-around game. Barbara Johnson added a career-high 21 points to go with four steals and three rebounds, while Desiree Elmore tallied 20 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

Down 77-67 with 4:52 left in the game, the Pirates scored nine unanswered points and Lewis' dramatic four-point play cut the Tigers' lead to one, 77-76. Seton Hall had two possessions in the final half minute, but couldn't find the go-ahead bucket.

SCOUTING PRINCETON
The Ivy League didn't play basketball during the abbreviated 2020-21 season, and therefore, Princeton hasn't played since 2019-20.

This season, the Tigers are predicted to win the 8-team Ivy League according to the league's preseason coaches poll. Top returners for the Tigers including Julia Cunningham, Honorable Mention All-Ivy in 2019-20, and Abby Meyers, Ivy All-Tournament Team in 2018.

Princeton enters the weekend with a 6-2 overall record. Among their impressive victories is an opening night 59-42 win at Villanova and an 18-point victory at Temple. Most recently, Princeton fell at Fordham, 76-67, on Sunday. Abby Meyers led the team with 22 points to go with seven rebounds.

UP NEXT
Seton Hall will return to action on Tuesday, Dec. 15 when it returns to Walsh Gymnasium to host Central Florida. Tip time is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. The game will be produced by the Pirate Sports Network and available to FloSports subscribers.
