With a ton of excitement and a great crowd in attendance the St. John’s Women’s Basketball team (10-5, 0-4) fell to DePaul (8-9, 3-1) in BIG EAST Conference play in Carnesecca Arena.
The ladies of the Red Storm played very well right until the Fourth Quarter of play, that was when DePaul started to make a comeback and eventually pulled through with the victory.
Thus far BIG EAST Play is proving though for the squad as there was also a 58-52 OT loss to Providence recently.
Overall there were some impressive victories as the ladies were able to defeat Wake Forest by a final of 63-45 in December, while also defeating Penn State 72-67 to list some of the memorable moments.
Prior to the start of the game the University honored Ariana Vanderhoop for reaching the 1,000-point plateau.
Vanderhoop is brining a ton of experience with her from Monmouth and having played in over 100 college games.
