SCOUTING VILLANOVA
The Wildcats are coming off a successful 17-7 campaign during the abbreviated 2020-21 season, including a 9-5 mark in conference play. They were eliminated from the BIG EAST Tournament by the eventual champion, UConn, in the semifinals. Villanova then defeated UMass and Florida n the WNIT before ending their season with a loss to Delaware in the quarterfinals.

This year, Villanova is predicted to finish fifth in the 11-team BIG EAST Conference, according to the Preseason Coaches' Poll. The dominant Maddy Siegrist, who led the BIG EAST in both scoring and rebounding last season, was a unanimous Preseason All-BIG EAST selection.

Villanova enters its contest with Seton Hall as the hottest team in the BIG EAST. The Wildcats have won nine straight games and are 17-6 overall and 11-3 in conference play. On Wednesday, Villanova snapped UConn's 145-game conference win streak with a victory at Gampel Pavilion. Most recently, they defeated Marquette in overtime, 74-63, on Friday. Maddy Siegrist leads the conference with 27.9 points per contest.
