Big Fourth Fuels Pirates to Sixth Straight Win, 62-52
2/18/2022 10:22:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Seton Hall outscores Providence, 23-13, in the fourth quarter with 13 points from Park-Lane.
SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Four Pirates scored in double-figures and the Seton Hall women's basketball team rallied to defeat Providence, 62-52, behind a strong fourth quarter for its sixth straight victory.
Junior Lauren Park-Lane (Wilmington, Del.) scored 13 of her 14 points in the game's final 7:49 and the Pirates used a 10-1 run to turn a four-point fourth quarter deficit into a five point lead.
Graduate student Andra Espinoza-Hunter (Ossining, N.Y.) scored a game-high 17 points to go with six rebounds and four assists. Senior Sidney Cooks (Kenosha, Wis.) notched her seventh double-double of the season with 12 points and a game-high 12 rebounds, while junior Mya Jackson (Wilmington, Ohio) turned in 10 points on 5-for-6 shooting.
The Story:
Seton Hall started cold from the field, and didn't score its first points until a pair of free-throws by Cooks with 3:33 left in the first quarter. During that time, Providence built an 8-0 lead. The Hall's first field goal also came from Cooks with 2:17 left, and despite shooting just 2-for-13, it trailed only 10-6 after the first 10 minutes.
Trailing 16-11, the Pirates went on an 8-2 run, getting buckets from four different players to grab a 19-18 lead with 4:31 left in the first half. The Hall shot 50.0% in the second quarter, getting nine points from Espinoza-Hunter alone. The Pirates' defense held Providence without a made three-pointer in the first 20 minutes and forced eight Friars turnovers.
After an even third quarter, Providence scored the first four points of the fourth quarter to take a 43-39 lead with 8:00 remaining. Seton Hall responded with a game-changing 10-1 run, which featured three-pointers on back-to-back possessions by Park-Lane and was capped by a long two by Jackson to give the Pirates a 49-44 advantage with 5:00 to play. The Friars cut their deficit to three points, 51-48, with 3:30 to go, but Park-Lane drilled her third trifecta of the quarter on the ensuing possession to end Providence's threat.
Inside the Numbers:
Seton Hall will return to action on Sunday, February 20 when it faces BIG EAST rival Creighton on Senior Day at historic Walsh Gymnasium. Game time is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET. The contest will be streamed live by the BIG EAST Digital Network and available for FloSports subscribers.
