Two weeks removed from the spring opener, St. John's will travel to Dallas, Texas on March 14-16 to participate in the Bob Sitton Invitational at the TPC Four Seasons.
"When we return from Dallas, we hope to have good weather in New York and have a good opportunity to be outside and get in a groove of practicing and playing in competitive tournaments so that we can take some momentum into the BIG EAST Championship," added Galletta.
