Pirates shatter Prudential attendance record in loss to Nova
All Shawn Walsh wanted for his birthday party was to see a Seton Hall win over Villanova.
“I asked him about eight weeks ago, ‘What do you want to do for your 10th birthday?” Shawn’s father, Tom, recalled. “We transitioned out of jumpy houses and laser tag and his request was to go to a Seton Hall basketball game.”
Shawn’s affinity for the Pirates comes from his cousin and aunt, who attend and teach at Seton Hall, respectively. He’s been to games before, but he hoped Seton Hall’s Feb. 18 matchup against the Wildcats would make for an extra special birthday treat.
