In the team's convincing double-digit win over Lafayette on Wednesday, the Red Storm's defense forced 20 turnovers while also swiping 10 steals.
Qadashah Hoppie paced the Red Storm with a game-high 22 points in the Johnnies' last outing. The Staten Island native went 7-for-13 from the field, connecting on five of her seven three-point attempts. In addition to her scoring performance, Hoppie brought down three rebounds and dished out a trio of assists in St. John's win.
In addition to Hoppie, Alisha Kebbe delivered a stellar performance in the team's home opener, netting 15 points on a 6-of-9 shooting effort from the floor. The Philadelphia native also grabbed four boards in the contest.
Tiana England was a force on defense for the Johnnies, swiping a team-high six steals against Lafayette. The Stamford, Conn., native also finished in double figures with 10 points to go along with five rebounds and four assists.
Kadaja Bailey was a key contributor to the Johnnies' 35 rebounds against the Leopards, as the sophomore guard grabbed a team-high nine boards.
James Madison enters Sunday's contest with a record of 2-1. The Dukes are coming off their first loss of the season, falling, 70-68, to No. 8 Maryland on Wednesday. Despite the setback, JMU had two players finish in double figures as Kiki Jefferson and Kamiah Smalls scored 16 and 14 points, respectively. Smalls leads the team in scoring this season with 20.3 points per game. Two other players are averaging double figures for JMU, as Lexie Barrier and Jefferson are averaging 14.0 and 11.7.
Reigning CAA Defensive Player of the Year and 2019 Lisa Leslie Watch List selection Kayla Cooper-Williams leads the team in rebounds with 8.7 per game. Cooper-Williams also leads her squad in blocks with 3.6 per contest.
Sunday will mark the fifth meeting all-time between St. John's and JMU, with the series tied at two wins each. Before falling to the Dukes last season, the Johnnies had won back-to-back contests against JMU in 2016 and again in 2017.
After squaring off with James Madison, the St. John's women's basketball team will return to Queens for a two-game homestand, welcoming Wake Forest on Nov. 22, before playing host to UMass on Nov. 25.
