LAST GAME
The Pirates fell victim to a 9-0 run early in the first quarter and never recovered, falling to No. 9 Connecticut, 71-38, in Gampel Pavilion on Friday.

Despite trailing, The Hall fought hard to hold their deficit to just 16 at the half, but the Husky defense proved formidable in the third quarter, and UConn pulled away further. Connecticut held the Pirates to just 26.4% shooting for the game and out-rebounded the Pirates, 53-to-25.

Senior Sidney Cooks (Kenosha, Wis.) led The Hall with 10 points. Junior Lauren Park-Lane (Wilmington, Del.) finished with five points, four assists and matched her career-high with six rebounds.
