Pirates prevail as tables turn in final minutes
In a game of contrasting styles where the Pirates trailed late, the hardy Seton Hall women’s basketball team overcame Xavier on Friday night by a final score of 58-53.
With momentum swinging throughout the evening, a boiling-over of emotions under the basket with 3:19 to play proved to be the act that swung the pendulum in the Pirates favor. Down 50-47, Inja Butina was fouled on a drive to the basket by Xavier’s A’riana Gray, who subsequently received a technical foul in a skirmish under the basket. After the free-throw dust had settled, Seton Hall went up 51-50 and did not give the lead back.
