South Orange, N.J. - A strong second half from Seton Hall was too much, as Lafayette fell on the road Sunday afternoon. Jamie O'Hare led the team with 14 points in the loss.
A 20-2 run spanning the final minutes of the first half and the beginning of the second half helped Seton Hall (8-1) past Lafayette (5-3). Emily Homan posted a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds, while Anna Ptasinski scored a career-high 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc.
Seton Hall took an early 12-8 advantage with 14 minutes to play in the first half. A five-point spurt from the Leopards capped off by an O'Hare three-pointer gave Lafayette the lead, 13-12. Another triple from Ptasinski pushed the Leopards ahead, 19-17.
Ptasinski's second three-pointer of the afternoon gave the Maroon and White the lead, 24-19. A driving lay-in from Linnel Macklin stretched the advantage to 27-21 with five and a half to play in the first period. Macklin's three-pointer pushed Lafayette to its largest lead of the half, 30-23. The Pirates used a 9-2 run to close the half and tie the game at 32.
Seton Hall opened the second half on an 11-0 run to take its first double figures lead of the afternoon, 43-32. With 13 minutes to play, Daisha Simmons extended the deficit to 13 with back-to-back buckets for the Pirates.
O'Hare found Harriet Ottewill-Soulsby on the break with 12 minutes on the clock, but Seton Hall continued to maintain a 15-point advantage, 55-40 with 11:29 to play. Out of the media timeout, O'Hare knocked down her second three-pointer of the night, trimming the lead to 12.
A long two from Macklin at the eight minute mark cut the deficit to 13, 60-47. After a five-point swing from the Pirates, Ashley Lutz knocked down a three from the corner to bring the Leopards back to within 15. Another five-point spurt from Seton Hall bumped its lead to 20 with five minutes to play.
Back-to-back buckets from O'Hare trimmed the lead to 15 with a minute and a half to play, but that was as close as the Leopards would get as the Pirates held on for an 80-63 final.
Lafayette has the next week and a half off for exams, and will resume play at Stony Brook on Dec. 19.
