LAST GAME
Mariana Valenzuela (Mazatlan, Mexico) had a team-high 20 points and the Seton Hall women's basketball team outlasted Auburn, 69-63, in Walsh Gymnasium on Sunday.

After consecutive sub-par fourth-quarter performances in the Pirates' last two games, Seton Hall was 6-for-12 from the floor in the final 10 minutes today. Savannah Catalon (Mansfield, Texas) and Jordana Codio (Winter Garden, Fla.) had nine points apiece in the fourth to fuel the Pirates to victory.

Valenzuela was an efficient 7-for-11 from the floor, including 4-for-7 from three-point range. She also grabbed eight rebounds and blocked a shot. Catalon had 15 points to go with eight rebounds, four assists and three steals. Codio, who came off the bench for the first time this season, provided a late spark and scored 14 points for the game.

Seton Hall All-Time vs. the Cougars: First Meeting

AGAINST WASHINGTON STATE
Seton Hall and Washington State will meet for the first time ever on Tuesday. However, The Hall has already played two West Coast Conference (WCC) foes this season. The Pirates defeated San Francisco and Pacific on the road last month.

SCOUTING WASHINGTON STATE
Washington State is coming off a 21-14 final record in 2024-25, which includes a 14-6 mark in West Coast Conference (WCC) play. The Cougars lost to Portland in the semifinals of the WCC Tournament, but earned a bid to the 2025 WNIT where they defeated Utah Valley before falling to North Dakota State in the Super 16.

This season, the Cougars were picked to finish third in the 12-team WCC according to its Preseason Coaches' Poll. Eleonora Villa was named to the Preseason All-WCC Team. WSU returned six from its 2024-25 roster, including Villa, it's leading scorer, and its leading shot blocker Alex Covil, along with Charlotte Abraham, Marta Alsina, Jean Chiu, and last year's redshirt Keandra Koorits.

Washington State has had a tough start to the 2025-26 season and enters Tuesday's contest with a 1-10 record. The Cougars have dropped four in a row and are coming off an 82-51 drubbing by Texas Tech on Friday. Their lone victory so far this year was against Miami (Ohio) on Nov. 28. Three Cougars are currently averaging double-figures in scoring, led by Villa who has a team-best 16.8 points per contest.

UP NEXT
Seton Hall will be back in action on Friday, Dec. 19 when it returns to BIG EAST Conference play to face Villanova on the road. Tip time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. The contest will be streamed live on ESPN+. 89.5 FM WSOU or wsou.net will also carry the game.
