St. John’s searches for first road victory on Sunday afternoon
QUEENS, N.Y. – St. John's women's soccer returns to action at Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium as the team prepares for a match at Providence. Kick-off against the Friars is slated for 1 p.m. and will air on the BIG EAST Digital Network.
The Red Storm enters the road tilt following a thrilling 1-1 draw against Creighton at Belson Stadium on Thursday night. The Bluejays took the 1-0 lead following a goal from Abigail Spencer in the 49th minute. With time winding down, Brooke Boyd powered in a header for the equalizing goal, helping the Johnnies salvage the conference draw. Jailene DeJesus played a ball back to Ava Collins, who threaded a cross that found the head of Boyd by the near post for the tally with nine seconds remaining in the game.
St. John's enters the league match at 5-4-4 on the season and 2-2-1 in conference action. The Red Storm earned all five victories at Belson Stadium this year. The team has struggled on the road, posting a 0-3-3 mark while having been shut out during the Johnnies' last four away matches.
Five St. John's players have scored at least two goals this year. Preseason All-BIG EAST selection Jessica Garziano paces the Red Storm squad with eight points, amassing a team-high four assists and two goals. Defensively, Gina Muzi has started all 13 matches this season, posting a 5-4-2 mark between the pipes. The senior netminder has made 33 saves while allowing just 10 goals this year.
Providence comes into the BIG EAST battle at 4-7-1 on the year with a 2-2-0 mark in conference play. The Friars topped DePaul, 2-1, during their last outing at Chapey Field on Thursday night. As a team, Providence averages 0.92 goals per game while allowing 1.83 scores per outing.
Three Friars hold six points this season with Meg Hughes and Gillian Kenney having tallied two goals and two assists each. Kyla Gallagher boasts four helpers to pace the Providence squad. The Farmington, Conn., native also scored her only goal this season in the team's last outing against the Blue Demons. Emma Bodmer has seen the bulk of the action between the pipes, starting all 12 matches for the Friars. The junior netminder has allowed 21 goals while making 33 stops and recording a pair of shutouts.
The series between St. John's and Providence is tied 16-16-5. The teams met four times in 2021 between the delayed 2020 season and the regularly scheduled 2021 slate. During that time frame, the Johnnies went undefeated, tallying a 2-0-2 mark for the year.
The last meeting between the programs came at Belson Stadium during the BIG EAST Quarterfinals when the Red Strom advanced past the Friars, 2-1, thanks to a golden goal by Isabelle Aviza. The Medway, Mass, native's fourth goal of her junior campaign came just 24 seconds into the overtime period to lock in the win for the Red Storm. Frederique St.-Jean converted on the Johnnies' first goal of the afternoon when the Red Storm defender found the back of the net in the 30th minute.
