After needing overtime to get past Central Connecticut State Saturday afternoon, the Seton Hall women’s basketball team could not handle UT-Arlington on Sunday, falling 86-61. The game was part of the SHU Thanksgiving Classic, with the two victors from Saturday squaring off for the title in front of a rocking crowd inside Walsh Gymnasium.
JaQuan Jackson made her long-awaited return for the Hall after a three-game suspension for an undisclosed NCAA violation, along with Jordan Molyneaux who sat out yesterday’s game. On the flip side, LaTecia Smith and Lubirdia Gordon did not dress for the game.
Gordon’s absence meant the Pirates would be playing without any seniors, and that the Pirates would have one less center to match up with UT-Arlington’s Rebekah VanDijk.
