SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. -- Jessica January had 13 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists to help No. 24 DePaul beat 25th-ranked Seton Hall 86-74 on Tuesday night.
Chanise Jenkins added 17 points for the Blue Demons (11-5, 3-0 Big East), who led by 32 early in the third quarter before holding off a furious rally.
It was the first time in program history that Seton Hall had a home game involving two ranked teams. It was also a rematch of last season's Big East tournament championship game which the Blue Demons won 78-68. The Pirates almost pulled off a historic rally to secure the best start in school history.
