The DePaul women’s basketball team played their first game in nine days on Wednesday night against the visiting St. John’s Red Storm. The Blue Demons were looking to further cement themselves as the second best in the Big East coming off of a win over Villanova on Jan 4, and they did just that on.
QUEENS â The St. Bonaventure womenâs basketball team took another step in the right direction Tuesday, taking Big East foe St. Johnâs to the wire on the road. The Bonnies were denied a victory after taking a double-digit second-half lead before falling to the Red Storm, 60-57.
Junior Asianae Johnson led all scorers with a game-high 14 points on 7-of-16 shooting. Queens native Deja Francis chipped in 11 points while Tori Harris added 10 points and seven rebounds.
Bona held a 39-27 third-quarter lead after opening the second half on an 8-0 run with six-straight points from Johnson.
St. Johnâs, picked to finish fourth this season in the Big East, then seized momentum back, launching a 25-7 run before a Harris three-point play with 6:44 to play in the fourth. By then, though, the Red Storm had taken back the lead, 52-49.
