In a year that was expected to be a rebuilding campaign after losing their two leading scorers and two of the best players in program history, the St. John’s women’s basketball team is on their way to the WNIT Round of 16 following two home wins over the weekend.
The Johnnies blew out Sacred Heart, 72-43, in their opening round match-up in Queens on Friday evening and continued their success on Sunday afternoon at Carnesecca Arena as they squeaked out a 62-57 win over Harvard.
Against Sacred Heart, the Red Storm was sensational on both ends of the floor in the second half to pull out a blowout victory.
