STOCKTON, CALIF. – Graduate student Mariana Valenzuela (Mazatlan, Mexico) had team-highs of 16 points and eight rebounds as the Seton Hall women's basketball team defeated Pacific, 79-55, on Sunday.

The game was never in doubt as the Pirates opened the contest by scoring 24 of the first 26 points. The Hall shot 46.0 percent from the floor for the game and forced 26 turnovers.

Valenzuela had 14 of her 16 points in the first half as the Pirates pulled away. She also had a game-high eight rebounds. Sophomore Jada Eads (Orlando, Fla.) filled the box score with 14 points, three rebounds, five assists and a career-high six steals.

Senior Jordana Codio (Winter Garden, Fla.) had 13 points and six rebounds, while junior Savannah Catalon (Mansfield, Texas) finished with 10 points, four steals and two rebounds.

THE STORY:
Seton Hall came roaring out of the gate, using a 24-2 run to begin the game to pull away from Pacific immediately. Valenzuela hit three-pointers on back-to-back possessions to fuel the run. In all, The Hall shot 63.2 percent from the floor in the first quarter and took a 28-11 lead into the second.

The Pirates kept up their pressure in the second quarter, and a made three-pointer by Catalon with 3:29 left before halftime gave them their largest lead of the half, 45-22. After The Hall took a time out, Cam Rust (Wakefield, R.I.) nailed a three-pointer with 1:01 left in the first half, and Eads drained a three just as time expired to send the Pirates into the break with a 51-28 advantage.

The Seton Hall lead grew to as many as 30 points when Natalia Hall-Rosa (Randolph, Mass.) hit a tough runner with 1:27 left in the third quarter to put the Pirates up, 65-35.

Pacific scored the first six points of the fourth quarter, but the Pirates' lead never shrunk to fewer than 21 points the rest of the way.
