CHICAGO -- Brooke Schulte had a double-double to help No. 17 DePaul overcome its second-worst shooting performance of the season in a 54-51 win over St. John's on Friday night.
Schulte was 9-of-17 shooting, hit all three of DePaul's 3-pointers, scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. The rest of the Blue Demons (19-5, 11-1 Big East) combined to shoot 17 percent and miss all of their 15 3s. Jacqui Grant fouled out with eight points and 10 boards.
St. John's (15-8, 7-5) led most of the first half and Akina Wellere's tipin pulled the Red Storm within one with 9:23 left in the third, but Schulte scored DePaul's first 12 points, including two 3-pointers, in a 16-2 run that made it 48-33 about five minutes later.
