LAST GAME
Senior Jordana Codio (Winter Garden, Fla.) scored a game-high 20 points, but the Seton Hall women's basketball team fell to Creighton, 72-66, in historic Walsh Gymnasium on Sunday.

Trailing by two possessions for most of the game, the Pirates went particularly cold from the field at the worst time, going scoreless for the first 6:12 of the fourth quarter and allowing the Bluejays to increase their lead to 12 points. The Hall was able to cut its deficit to three, but ultimately ran out of time.

The loss is Seton Hall's first against an opponent other than No. 1 Connecticut since Dec. 19.

Codio had 20 points, and six rebounds to lead The Hall. Junior Savannah Catalon (Mansfield, Texas) had 15 points and three steals. Shailyn Pinkney (East Hartford, Conn.) was a third Pirate to score in double-figures. She finished with 11 points and four rebounds.

BYE WATCH
The top five teams in the final BIG EAST standings will earn a bye for the first round of the BIG EAST Tournament next month. Currently, Seton Hall is tied with Marquette for third place and St. John's is 1.5 games behind in fifth place. The sixth-place team is Creighton. The Pirates have a 2.5 game lead on the Bluejays, and as of now, by virtue of their victory over Marquette on Jan. 14, have the head-to-head tie-breaker over Creighton as well.

AGAINST ST. JOHN'S
Seton Hall and St. John's will rekindle their long rivalry on Saturday. The Red Storm are the last BIG EAST team the Pirates haven't played yet this season. St. John's owns a 50-41 all-time series lead, but the Pirates have dominated the matchup recently having won six of the last seven games, including a sweep of the home-and-home series last season.

SCOUTING ST. JOHN'S
St. John's returns three of their top scorers. Two notable returners include Kylie Lavelle and Skye Owen. Lavelle led the team with a 52.2 field goal percentage and an 84.0 free throw percentage. Owen shot 81.3 percent from the free-throw line and 38.3 percent from 3-point range, both marks ranked second-best on the team. The Red Storm went 16-15 overall and 5-13 in BIG EAST play in 2024-25 and reached the quarterfinals of the conference tournament.

This season, the Red Storm was picked to finish sixth in the 11-team BIG EAST Conference according to the Preseason Coaches' Poll.

St. John's enters its Saturday contest with an 18-7 overall record and an 8-6 mark in BIG EAST play. The Red Storm have had large swings in play this season, including a 30-point loss to Creighton, but an impressive 13-point victory over Villanova only two weeks ago. They've won three of their last four and are coming off a 71-52 win over Xavier on Wednesday. Brooke Moore and Sa'Mya Wyatt are averaging in double-figures in scoring.

UP NEXT
Seton Hall will return to action on Wednesday, Feb. 11 when it heads to Milwaukee, Wis. to face BIG EAST rival Marquette. Tip time is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. The contest will be streamed live on ESPN+. 89.5 FM WSOU or wsou.net will also carry the game.
