LAST GAME
Sophomore Jada Eads (Orlando, Fla.) had team-highs of 16 points, seven rebounds and four assists, but the Seton Hall women's basketball team was outlasted by NC State, 61-53, on Sunday.

The Hall got out to a strong start, and had a lead at the half for the seventh straight game to open the year, but the Wolfpack's bigs wore down the Pirates on the glass. NC State's front court, listed at 6-foot-6, 6-foot-3, and the 6-foot-2 Khamil Pierre, who leads the country in rebounding, helped the Wolfpack pull down 51 rebounds, a high for a Seton Hall opponent this season.

Eads led the team with 16 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Jordana Codio (Winter Garden, Fla.) had 10 points, six rebounds and two steals. Mariana Valenzuela (Mazatlan, Mexico) had 10 points and five rebounds. Junior Savannah Catalon (Mansfield, Texas) didn't have a great shooting game, but she still filled the box score with seven points, seven rebounds, three steals and six fouls drawn.

Seton Hall All-Time vs. the Lions: Seton Hall leads, 3-2
Last Meeting: Columbia 72, Seton Hall 61 (F) – Nov. 10, 2023 (Levien Gym)

AGAINST COLUMBIA
Seton Hall and Columbia will meet for the sixth time in history on Tuesday, with the Pirates holding a slim, 3-2, lead in the prior five games. The Lions have won the last two contests in the series, including a 72-61 victory at Levien Gymnasium on Nov. 10, 2023. The Pirates' last victory in the series came in the national quarterfinals of the WNIT, also at Levine, on March 28, 2022.

SCOUTING COLUMBIA
Columbia is coming off a highly-successful 2024-25 campaign, which featured a 24-7 final record, including a 13-1 mark in Ivy League play. The Lions were upset by Harvard in the title game of the Ivy League Tournament, but earned an at large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Columbia defeated Washington, 63-60, in the First Four, but fell in the first round to 6-seeded West Virginia.

This season, Columbia was picked to finish second in the 8-team Ivy League according to its Preseason Coaches' Poll. Columbia returns a talented core led by Riley Weiss and Perri Page, both key pieces in last season's success. Weiss is the team's top returning scorer and averaged 17.8 per game last season. She was named to the Ann Meyers Drysdale Women's National Player of the Year and Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Watch Lists.

Columbia enters Tuesday's contest with a 6-4 record having won two in a row. Most recently, the Lions routed Wagner at home, 82-42, on Saturday. Columbia has also registered victories at Butler in overtime as well as against Ohio, Binghamton, South Dakota State and Manhattan. Weiss currently leads the team with 19.1 points per game. Page is averaging 13.4 points and a team-best 6.4 rebounds per contest.

UP NEXT
Seton Hall will return to action on Sunday, Dec. 14 when it hosts non-conference foe Auburn at historic Walsh Gymnasium. Tip time is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. The contest will be streamed live on ESPN+. 89.5 FM WSOU or wsou.net will also carry the game.
