SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Senior Lauren Park-Lane (Wilmington, Del.) had a season-high 25 points, but the Seton Hall women's basketball team suffered its first loss of the season, a 62-58 loss to Princeton on Monday.

The Pirates out-shot Princeton by a large margin, 42.6% to only 29.6%, but The Hall committed 21 turnovers and was beaten on the glass, particularly down the stretch. The Tigers grabbed three offensive rebounds in the final minute as the Pirates were trying to rally.

Park-Lane played all 40 minutes and had a game-high 25 points on 9-for-21 shooting. Sidney Cooks (Kenosha, Wis.) finished with 11 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Sha'Lynn Hagans (Manassas, Va.) was a third Pirate to reach double-figures in scoring. She had 10 points.

THE STORY:
The Hall went on an 8-0 run to grab an early 8-2 lead, but Princeton bounced back with three-pointers on three straight possessions to take an 11-8 advantage with 4:49 left in the first quarter.

A made three-pointer by Hagans gave The Hall a 21-17 lead, but Princeton responded with a 10-2 run to jump ahead, 27-23, with 3:04 left before halftime. A three-pointer late in the half by Alexia Allesch (Basking Ridge, N.J.) enabled The Hall to cut its deficit to just 29-28 at the break.

Down 54-46, the Pirates started clawing back. A three-pointer by Hagans cut The Hall's deficit to five, and three minutes later, a driving layup by Park-Lane cut the Tiger lead to 55-52 with 3:02 remaining in the game. With the score the same, a potential game-tying three-pointer by Park-Lane rimmed out with 2:11 left, and then with 1:44 to go, Cooks took a shot at tying the game, but it too missed the mark. The Pirates did a good job in the final minute of fouling to prolong the game and get additional possessions, but Princeton came up with key offensive rebounds to keep the ball.

Seton Hall was 23-for-54 (42.6%) from the floor for the game, while Princeton was 21-for-71 (29.6%). The Hall was 6-for-15 (40.0%) from three-point range, while the Tigers were 5-for-21 (23.8%).

Seton Hall was 6-for-9 (66.7%) from the free-throw line, while Princeton was 15-for-20 (75.0%).
