In the first home postseason game in Walsh Gymnasium since 2014, the 8th-seeded Seton Hall Pirates were defeated by the 9th-seeded Saint Joseph’s Hawks, 75-57, in the first round of the Women’s National Invitational on Wednesday night, ending the season for Tony Bozzella’s team.
“It’s a shame, because, I was excited to get us in the postseason, we got a home game; a draw against obviously a very good team from the A-10 [Atlantic-10], but a team I thought we would be very competitive with at home,” Bozzella said.
But while the game promised to be competitive, it served up a nightmare for Bozzella and his coaching staff, as Seton Hall could not find a successful starting five, gave the ball away 23 times and made only 7 percent of its shots from deep.
