Seton Hall women’s basketball (8-5, 1-1) fell 72-64 to the Xavier Musketeers (9-5, 1-2) on the second half of its two-game conference road trip Wednesday evening.
From the beginning, Xavier came out firing offensively. Three of its first four baskets were three-pointers, forcing Seton Hall to call a timeout down 11-7. From there, the Musketeers kept pouring it on, scoring nine straight out of the timeout, making it 20-7 in favor of Xavier. A Kaela Hilaire layup and tough defense by the Pirates made the score 20-9 at the end of the first quarter.
Xavier opened up the second quarter with a Kindell Fincher three, who finished with four made behind the arc.
