1/13/2019 4:11:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Kaela Webb scored a career-high 16 points to lead the Friar effort.
SOUTH ORANGE, N.J.– The Providence College women's basketball team fell to Seton Hall, 79-73, on Jan. 13 at Walsh Gymnasium in South Orange, N.J.  Freshman Kaela Webb (Pontiac, Mich.) led four Friars in double figures with a career-high 16 points.  The Friars dropped to 10-8 overall (2-4 BIG EAST), while Seton Hall improved to 10-6 overall (3-2 BIG EAST).
Â
The Friars led by as many as six with 6:48 remaining in the first quarter and held a 21-18 lead after 10 minutes of action.  Providence hit 8-of-12 field goals in the opening quarter (.667).
Â
Seton Hall took its first lead of the game (26-25) with 8:25 on the clock in the second quarter.  The Friars responded with a 7-3 scoring spurt to take a 33-28 lead with 6:59 on the clock, but Seton Hall would close the first half with 10 unanswered points for a 38-33 edge at the break.
Â
Freshmen Mary Baskerville (Enfield, Conn.) and Webb combined to score 19 of the Friars' 33 points in the opening 20 minutes. Baskerville led the way with 11 points on 5-7 shooting, while Webb dropped eight points on a 3-5 effort from the field, including 2-3 from beyond the arc.
Â
Seton Hall took advantage of 15 first-half miscues by the Friars and outscored Providence 16-2 in points off of turnovers.
Â
The Friars found themselves tied, 56-56, heading into the fourth quarter after out-scoring Seton Hall, 23-18, in the third.  It marked the third time in six BIG EAST Conference games that Providence was tied with its opponent going into the final 10 minutes of play.
Â
In the fourth quarter, Providence took its first lead since midway through the second quarter on an Andrea Cooper (Edmond, Okla.) lay-up with 7:52 to play (58-56).  Seton Hall answered with four-straight points to regain the lead (60-58) at the 6:18 mark, and would not relinquish it the rest of the way.
Â
Baskerville finished the day with 13 points and three rebounds before heading to the bench with five personal fouls.  Jovana Nogic (Belgrade, Serbia) added 11 points, while Olivia Orlando (Winthrop, Mass.) chipped in 10 points, including eight in the third quarter.  Alyssa Geary (Elmhurst, Ill.) led Providence on the boards with seven rebounds, matching her career high.
Â
Seton Hall was led by Shadeen Samuels, who recorded 19 points and 10 rebounds.  Nicole Jimenez also tallied 19 points.
Â
The Friars return to action on Friday, Jan. 18 against Butler at Alumni Hall in Providence, R.I. The game will serve as the backdrop for the program's annual Project Providence event and is scheduled to tip-off at 11:30 a.m.  More than 1,000 local elementary and middle school students are expected to attend the game.
