A hard-fought first half turned into an easy victory for the St. John’s women’s basketball team, but that took backstage to several individual and team milestones reached in a 69-54 win over Providence on February 26.
The team was led by seniors Danaejah Grant and Aliyyah Handford, who each posted 27 points. Handford became the team’s all-time leading scorer, passing Ling Ling Hou with 1,973 points. Grant moved into the top 10 in all-time scoring with 1,418 points in just 87 games. It was also the sixth time in the last seven seasons that the women have reached the 20-win plateau on a day that this program will never forget.
