QUICK KICKS

The Pirates opened the 2021 season with a 1-0 win over Lafayette at Owen T. Carroll Field on August 19.
Seton Hall has won its season opener in consecutive years for the first time since 2006-07.
It was the Pirates' first shutout in a season opener since 2014.
Senior Naomi Welch (Livingston, Scotland) scored the game-winning goal in the 80th minute and freshman Natalie Tavana (Middletown, Conn.) was credited with her first career assist.
Tavana in the midfield, midfielder Cara Milne-Redhead (Clitheroe, England) and defender Phoebe Hampson (Cheshire, England) are three freshmen that started for the Pirates against the Leopards.
Midfielder Laura Hooper has played in a team-best 54 matches with 38 starts, 10 goals and five assists including her first two seasons at Seattle University.
Seton Hall is coming off a season where it played in five matches that went to overtime, tying a program record set in 2001.
The 2020 campaign saw the Pirates win their first season opener since 2014 and defeat conference rival St. John's for the first time since 2011.
Two seniors from last season – Laura Hooper (Watford, England) and Dani Brinckman (Glastonbury, Conn.) – are back for fifth seasons and will help hold down the midfield and back line, respectively.
Also back for The Hall on defense are upperclassmen Maris Difonso (Joppa, Md.), Emily Arellano (Wadsworth, Ohio), Lauren DiPietro (Stoney Creek, Ontario), Abbie Roberts (Bedfordshire, England) and, at goal, Grace Gordon (Chester Springs, Pa).
Gordon registered her first career clean sheet to go along with four saves in the win over Lafayette.
