Weekend Sweep for St. John’s Women’s Basketball
Two blowout wins for St. John's lead to Friday's matchup with Villanova.
Coming into this weekend, the St. John’s women’s basketball team rode a three-game losing streak. The skid, which featured road losses to Seton Hall, Creighton and Providence, was broken with two resounding wins against Butler and Xavier this weekend.
The Red Storm started their weekend series with a game against the Bulldogs Friday night. They defeated Butler (13-12, 5-8 Big East) 76-38 thanks to a lot of help from the bench, which combined for 38 total points.
“Off the bench they were energized today,” Head Coach Joe Tartamella said postgame. “All around I think it was just a great day.”
