After this play, the magic between White and Burns started to appear. They would make a couple give-and-go runs down the field before the half ended.
White and Burns went on a counterattack run in the 39th minute after Seton Hall just pushed to try to score their own goal and the duo caught the defense napping. Burns would pass back to White, who blasted past the Seton Hall goalie to give the Huskies the 2-1 lead.
"Not many guys can stay with the front of our team when we get going," Reid said. "O'Brian White tonight for me was spectacular. That's how he should play every night."
White's three points Saturday gives him 12 points to lead the team.
The Huskies would continue the offensive dominance in the second half and would keep the fans, and according to Reid the players sitting on the bench, on the edge of their seats as White would continue to make one-on-one moves to get great scoring chances. The Pirates' goalie, however, would put up a wall.
"Instead of getting frustrated, I would just keep trying to get back," White said, and he kept demanding the ball and he would set up the final scoring chance of the game as a penalty was called during an attacking run by the Huskies at 39:21.
Akeem Priestley took the free kick and set the ball perfectly in the corner of the box where Toni Stahl scissor-kicked it past the Seton Hall goalkeeper. The goal gave the Huskies a commanding 3-1 lead.
The Huskies will play their final non-conference game of the regular season Tuesday when they host Wake Forest.
