LAST TIME AGAINST CONNECTICUT
Freshman Samantha Shelton (Oak Park, Ill.) had a double-double, but the Pirates fell to Connecticut, 3-1 (22-25, 25-19, 24-26, 14-25), on the road on Oct. 10. Seton Hall's offense looked both excellent and disappointing during the match. In the first two sets, the Pirates looked explosive offensively with a .297 attack percentage, including a .458 mark in the second set. However, The Hall had only a .046 attack percentage over the last two sets.

Shelton had a team-high 12 kills to go with 10 digs. Senior Maddy Loiselle (Tampa, Fla.) tallied 10 kills, only two attack errors and a .348 attack percentage. Junior Alondra Villanueva (Lima, Peru) had nine kills and seven digs. Sophomore Emilee Fuller (Louisville, Ky.) narrowly missed her first career double-double with a team-high 18 assists to go with nine digs and two kills.

SCOUTING CONNECTICUT
Connecticut enters the weekend with a 10-15 record overall and a 3-9 mark in BIG EAST Conference play. The Huskies have played well recently and are coming off a pair of victories at home last weekend. The Hall defeated Villanova in four sets on Friday before outlasting Georgetown in five sets on Saturday. Since last playing Seton Hall, UConn has gone 2-4.

Connecticut leads the BIG EAST in aces per set, but is last in opponent attack percentage and digs per set.
