Seton Hall’s two seniors came up big on Senior Night in Walsh Gym to keep the team’s Big East Tournament hopes alive.
Tessa Fournier and Danielle Schroeder led the way as the Pirates (16-10, 10-8) swept St. John’s (16-15, 7-11) in three straight sets (25-17, 25-22, 25-23). Fournier was dominant defensively as she has been throughout her four years at Seton Hall, coming up with 22 digs in the win. Schroeder contributed six digs and three aces, along with some gritty play along the way.
The Pirates jumped out to a quick 8-2 start in the first set and rode that early momentum to a convincing 25-17 first set victory.
