The Seton Hall women’s basketball team elevated its record Saturday afternoon to 4-1 with a 78-70 overtime victory over Central Connecticut State University at Walsh Gymnasium.
The Pirates appeared to be locked in from the start, winning the jump ball and letting Kaela Hilaire find an open Claire Lundberg who canned the opening three-pointer.
Lundberg found her rhythm late in the second when she singlehandedly led the Pirates on a 7-0 scoring run. She finished with 16 points and eight rebounds, including her four three-pointers.
“KK (Hilaire) is a gamer and a winner,” head coach Tony Bozzella said of the freshman guard who led all scorers with 24 points on 8-18 shooting from the field.
