After a dominant first half, the Seton Hall Pirates’ guard play paved the way to a 74-60 victory over Savannah State in the Hall’s season opener on Sunday.
A two-minute drought to start the game for both teams was finally broken by a three-pointer from shooting guard JaQuan Jackson, who led all scorers with 21 points on 7-18 shooting.
The trio of Jackson, LaTecia Smith and Kaela Hilaire combined for 47 points and 10 assists. The triad of guards would drive and spark the Pirates’ offense throughout the game.
“We play really well together,” Hilaire said.
