For the first time since 2001, the Seton Hall Pirates entered their annual on-campus game in the Walsh Gymnasium with an AP top-25 ranking Tuesday night. The No. 15 Pirates did not disappoint, handily beating in-state rival St. Peter’s 84-61. Seniors Khadeen Carrington, Desi Rodriguez, and Angel Delgado each scored in double-digits in what was their final on-campus game to lead the Pirates.
The first half seemed almost effortless for the Pirates, who opened with a 21-6 lead after holding St. Peter’s to 1-11 shooting to begin the game. They never looked back, using stingy defense to enter the half with a 42-23 lead.
