Red Storm Returns to Action on Friday Night against Army
11/15/2018 5:11:00 PM | Women's Basketball
The Black Knights and the Johnnies will tip off at 5 p.m.
Coming off of a convincing win over Iona in the team's season opener, the Red Storm will return to action on Friday night, traveling to West Point, N.Y., for a contest with Army.
The game will be available to live stream on watchstadium.com. Tip-off scheduled for 5 p.m.
The Johnnies will look to improve to 2-0 on the season for the second-straight year when they travel to Army for the 14th meeting all-time between the two programs.Â
Most recently, the Johnnies are coming off a dominate defensive attack that saw the squad force 24 turnovers, defeating Iona, 61-35, in the team's season opener. The Gaels 35 points were the fewest allowed by an opponent since the 2016-17 season when the Red Storm defeated Wagner, 62-34, at Carnesecca Arena.
The first St. John's student-athlete to earn BIG EAST Preseason Freshman of the Year honors since Cozette Ballentine in 1988, Kadaja Bailey measured up to her title in her college debut. The Long Beach, N.Y., native recorded a double-double, netting 14 points and 13 rebounds. The 6-foot guard's 13 boards were the most by any individual player across the BIG EAST during the opening week of action. It was also the highest number in a St. John's season opener since 2014 when Amber Thompson grabbed 14 en route to the team's 61-50 victory over Yale. In addition, it marked the most boards in a freshman debut under Head Coach Joe Tartamella. As a result of her stellar first-game performance, Bailey earned a spot on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll.
Reigning BIG EAST Freshman of the Year Qadashah Hoppie recorded double figures in the first contest of the season, putting up 13 points to help the Johnnies to a 26-margin victory over the Gaels. Kayla Charles, Alisha Kebbe and Akina Wellere were not far behind. Charles tallied nine points and six boards in just 11 minutes of action, while Kebbe and Wellere each recorded eight points apiece for the Johnnies.Â
Army enters play on Friday following a 70-49 loss to Columbia, dropping to 1-1 Â on the regular season. Despite the loss, Army saw two players finish in double figures as Madison Hovern and Kate Murray each recorded 13 points. Hovern currently leads the team in scoring, averaging 16.5 points per game after two contests. Led by 13th-year head coach Dave Magarity, the Black Knights finished 17-14 overall and 9-9 in the Patriot League last season.
Following the contest against Army, the Red Storm will travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam. The Johnnies will take on Purdue on Thursday, Nov. 22 at 5:30 p.m. before facing No. 2 ranked UConn on Friday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m. St. John's will then wrap up play on Saturday, Nov. 24 against Ole Miss at 5:30 p.m. FloHoops.com will provide a live stream of all the games during the Paradise Jam.
