Sunday afternoon, Seton Hall women’s basketball was fittingly tested, and passed, earning an 89-81 victory over Garden State opponent Rider in Walsh Gymnasium.
The game was high octane from the opening whistle, with Rider holding the lead for the six minutes before Seton Hall worked its way back and took the lead with a layup in transition from Kaela Hilaire. Rider had the quick response with a three-pointer from Tracey Goodman, but the Hall answered right back with a three-pointer of its own to take the one-point advantage at 21-20.
Rider came in to the second quarter down two but quickly tied the score, setting the tone for a back-and-forth first five minutes of the second.
