The Hall Hosts Hofstra On Tuesday Afternoon

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – The Seton Hall softball team (18-15-1) is back in action in the midweek when it hosts Hofstra (14-16) on Tuesday at Mike Sheppard, Sr. Field. First pitch is set for 4 p.m. with a limited production Pirate Sports Network broadcast available.

The Hall is coming off a series victory over Georgetown, including a 1-0 win in a rubber game on Sunday. Following the win Reganne Camp (Bloomington, Ill.) was named BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week for the first time in the frehsman's career and Lauren Fischer (Robbinsville, N.J.) earned a spot on the league's weekly honor roll. Hofstra most recently won a home conference series against Delaware, sweeping a Saturday doubleheader before falling on Sunday.

On Tuesday, both Seton Hall and Hofstra will wear gold laces as part of the Go4TheGoal Lace Up For Pediatric Cancer campaign. For more information and to contribute to the cause, click HERE.
