LAST GAME
Junior Savannah Catalon (Mansfield, Texas) hit two free throws with 0.9 seconds left in regulation to force overtime, and had 15 of her 20 points in the fourth quarter and overtimes to lift the Pirates to an improbable, 90-83, double-overtime victory on Nov. 20.

Down 80-79 in the second overtime, Catalon drained a three-pointer to give The Hall a two-point lead with 2:06 to play. A minute later, Messiah Hunter (Hopewell, Va.) provided the dagger, a made three-pointer with 1:10 left to give The Hall an 85-80 cushion.

Catalon was brilliant late in the game, scoring eight of the Pirates' final nine points of regulation and playing the final 13:30 of the game with four fouls. She finished with 20 points, eight rebounds and three steals in nearly 47 minutes played. She was also 10-for-10 from the free-throw line. Mariana Valenzuela (Mazatlan, Mexico) scored a career-high 21 points on the strength of 5-for-8 shooting from three-point range. She also had eight rebounds, four steals and two assists. Jada Eads (Orlando, Fla.), who was questionable to play due to illness, had 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 27 minutes.

Seton Hall All-Time vs. the Tigers: Pirates lead, 13-10
Last Meeting: Princeton 78, Seton Hall 75 (F) – Nov. 21, 2024 (Walsh Gymnasium)

AGAINST PRINCETON
Seton Hall and Princeton will continue their lengthy non-conference rivalry on Tuesday. The Pirates own a 13-10 all-time series lead, but Princeton has won the last three games, all of which have been decided by four point or less. Last season, the Pirates dropped a 78-75 decision to the Tigers in Walsh Gym. The Hall hasn't won in Jadwin Gym since a 70-60 victory on Dec. 11, 2021. This will be the 11^thtime in 12 seasons that these teams have played with the only disruption coming in 2020 due to COVID-19.

SCOUTING PRINCETON
Princeton is coming off another fruitful season in 2024-25, which featured a 21-8 final record, including a 12-2 mark in the Ivy League. The Tigers were upset by Harvard in the semifinals of the Ivy League Tournament, but still earned an at large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Princeton lost to Iowa State, 68-63, in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Ashley Chea was selected unanimously First-Team All-Ivy while Skye Belker and Fadima Tall were honored as second-team selections. Parker Hill corralled Honorable Mention All-Ivy and Academic All-Ivy.

This year, the Tigers were again picked as favorites to win the eight-team Ivy League according to the preseason coaches' poll. Princeton returns four starters from last year's NCAA Tournament team in Chea, Belker, Tall and Olivia Hutcherson. Also returning is Madison St. Rose, who was named to the 2026 Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Award Watchlist.

Princeton enters its contest with Seton Hall with an impressive 7-1 overall record and having won their last five games. The Tigers' only loss came to No. 9 Maryland on the road back on Nov. 16. Seton Hall will be Princeton's third BIG EAST opponent already, having defeated Villanova, 73-68, on the road on Nov. 12, and most recently, routing DePaul, 71-41, on Sunday. Five Tigers are currently averaging in double-figures in scoring with St. Rose leading the way at 17.0 points per contest.

UP NEXT
Seton Hall will return to action on Thursday, Dec. 4 when it opens BIG EAST Conference play against Butler in historic Walsh Gymnasium. Tip time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. The contest will be streamed live on ESPN+. 89.5 FM WSOU or wsou.net will also carry the game.
