Esports Pirates Secure Top Seed in Conference Playoffs

Seton Hall University's Super Smash Brothers Ultimate (SSBU) team has once again earned recognition in the competitive gaming scene. Building upon the momentum of last season's triumph, the Pirates have sailed through the regular season with unmatched prowess, clinching the coveted top seed in the NACE's Varsity Plus East Conference playoffs.

Last season, Seton Hall's resilience in regular season play led them to a historic victory over Widener University in the conference finals. This season, the Pirates asserted their dominance from the outset with a series of commanding victories against formidable opponents such as Keene State College, University of New England, SUNY Farmingdale State College, and Ashland University. Even in their closest match against Stony Brook University, which pushed them to a decisive third game, the Pirates exhibited the same resilience and determination as the prior season, emerging victorious with a 2-1 score and solidifying their undefeated record this season.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, April 11 at 7 p.m., as the Pirates return to the virtual arena once again to defend their conference title. Fans can catch the action live on Twitch and cheer on the SSBU squad as they strive to build upon their legacy.
