Pirates battle back from deficit, can’t overcome Marquette
Joey Khan/Photography and Digital EditorThe Seton Hall women’s basketball team cut a 23-point deficit to three late in the fourth quarter, but the effort was ultimately not enough, as the Pirates remained winless in 2017 after falling to Marquette 83-77 on Thursday at Walsh Gymnasium.
The Pirates (8-7, 1-4 Big East) have now dropped their fourth straight contest in conference play after defeating St. John’s in their opener. Claire Lundberg scored 18 points for Seton Hall, going 6-7 from beyond the arc. JaQuan Jackson had 17 points, while Kaela Hilaire added 16 points and five assists. Lubirdia Gordon also put up 12 points along with six rebounds and two blocks.
