LAST GAME
Senior Lauren Park-Lane (Wilmington, Del.) scored a game-high 31 points, and Sidney Cooks (Kenosha, Wis.) added 23 more as the Pirates upset No. 24 Marquette, 82-78, on Sunday.

The Hall has now won four straight and improves to 2-0 in BIG EAST play. It's their first win over a ranked opponent since defeating DePaul in Chicago, 84-73, on Jan. 20, 2019.

Seton Hall put together arguably its top all-around performance of the season, out-shooting, out-rebounding and forcing more turnovers than the ranked Golden Eagles.

Park-Lane erupted for 31 points on 9-for-22 shooting from the field and a 13-for-17 mark from the free-throw line. She also dished out a game-high seven assists against just one turnover. Cooks had a highly efficient 23 points on 10-for-14 shooting to go with five rebounds. A third Pirate reached double-figures in scoring, Kae Satterfield (New York, N.Y.), had 12 points and six rebounds, and played strong basketball down the stretch, chasing down loose balls and tying up Marquette offenders.
