With an energetic effort from sophomore guard Skye Owen, St. John’s was able to pull away from close quarters and get the job done.
The St. John’s Women’s Basketball team narrowly escaped a loss to an 0-9 Xavier team on Jan. 31. Stepping up to the plate for the Johnnies was sophomore guard Skye Owen, who finished with eight points, nine assists and a whole lot of energy to lift the Johnnies over the Musketeers.
From the gate, Xavier overpowered a scrambling Red Storm that continually lost the ball, forcing 13 points off turnovers and fast breaks in the first quarter.
