Gus Alfieri starred for the men's basketball program under legendary head coach Joe Lapchick. A Long Island native, Alfieri helped the Johnnies to its 1959 National Invitation Tournament (NIT) Championship. In the NIT title game, Alfieri scored 15 points and guided the Johnnies to a 76-71 victory over Bradley in double overtime on March 21, 1959, at Madison Square Garden.
Over his three seasons as a varsity letterwinner, Alfieri averaged 10.8 points and 4.1 rebounds in 72 career appearances. Alfieri also shot 43.6 percent from the field during his career.
Following his successful playing career at St. John's, Alfieri went on to become one of Long Island's premier high school coaches, running the All-American Basketball Camp on Long Island for more than 50 years and transitioning to the sideline at St. Anthony's High School in 1968. He guided the program to a pair of New York State Championships, four NSCHSAA titles and 328 wins as head coach by the time of his departure nearly two decades later in 1986. St. Anthony's inducted Alfieri into its Hall of Fame and re-named its court after the Red Storm's newest Hall of Famer in 2016.
Alfieri also encapsulated the legacy and history of his legendary head coach in his book, "Lapchick: The Life of a Legendary Player and Coach in the Glory Days of Basketball." Immortalizing the 50-plus years of contributions Lapchick made on and off the court to the game of basketball, Alfieri wrote through the lens of his mentor, taking in the accounts of more than 250 interviews from esteemed individuals around the game, including Lou Carnesecca, Wilt Chamberlain, Bobby Knight and John Wooden.
One of the most prolific hitters in Red Storm softball history, Erin Burner becomes the third softball student-athlete to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, joining Erin McDonnell (Class of 2000-01) and Courtney Fitzgerald (Class of 2012-13). A four-year letterwinner from 2012-15, Burner propelled the Johnnies into unchartered territory with her hitting abilities, lifting the program to the BIG EAST Championship in 2015.
During her time in Queens, Burner set the program's career records for home runs (43) and batting average (.360) while also registering 148 RBIs and scoring 126 runs for the Red Storm. The El Segundo, Calif., native finished off her career with one of the best individual seasons in program history and was named BIG EAST Player of the Year.
During her historic 2015 season, Burner set single-season records for RBIs (49), batting average (.439), walks (33), slugging percentage (.848) and on-base percentage (.548). The two-time BIG EAST First Team selection's offensive success propelled the Red Storm to its first BIG EAST regular season title and first BIG EAST Tournament Championship, capturing the program's lone appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
In the classroom, Burner also shined with four straight BIG EAST All-Academic Team selections while garnering the BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete Sports Excellence award at the conclusion of her senior campaign. She also received recognition for the Senior CLASS Award, given to student-athletes who have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: classroom, community, character, and competition.
St. John's women's basketball's all-time leading scorer Aliyyah Handford established herself as one of the best players in the program's history during her decorated career from 2012-16. A three-time All-BIG EAST First Team selection, Handford guided the Johnnies to their first BIG EAST Tournament title in nearly 30 years during the 2015-16 campaign. The program's all-time leader in points with 2,058 also finished her career top-10 in program history in field goals made (818, 2nd), free throws made (411, 2nd), steals (271, 2nd), games played (132, 4th), scoring average (15.6, 4th) and rebounds (712, 8th).
Handford still reigns as the program's leader in points by a sophomore and as a junior, garnering 567 points in the 2013-14 season, followed by 655 points during the 2014-15 campaign. During those two seasons, the Newark, N.J., native picked up back-to-back WBCA All-America Region I selections and a pair of All-Met First Team nods. Following her outstanding junior campaign, Handford was selected to participate in the USA Basketball Pan American Games and World University Games Team Trials.
Handford led the charge in St. John's improbable run to BIG EAST glory and helped the program hoist its first conference title since 1988. She averaged a team-high 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 steals and 3.0 assists during the BIG EAST Tournament. Handford also became St. John's first women's basketball player to eclipse the 2,000-point mark with a 22-point performance in the quarterfinal matchup against Georgetown. Handford registered 23 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals in the team's semifinal upset over DePaul before scoring 11 points in the championship game against Creighton.
At the conclusion of her collegiate career, Handford became one of the program's four players to be selected in the WNBA Draft. The Connecticut Sun selected Handford with the 27th overall pick in the 2016 WNBA Draft.
One of the top pitchers in St. John's Baseball history, Craig Hansen was dominant on the mound during his three seasons with the program from 2003-05. The Glen Cove, N.Y., native ranks second in program history with 26 career saves, 24 of which came in his sophomore and junior years. He also struck out 185 batters and surrendered just 57 walks in 144.1 career innings with the Johnnies.
After tallying 10 saves as a sophomore and returning the Red Storm to the NCAA Tournament after a seven-year hiatus, Hansen powered the Red Storm back to the NCAA Regionals with 14 saves in 2005, which were the second most in Division I that season. Hansen was named BIG EAST Pitcher of the Year and First Team All-America during his junior campaign. He also posted a 3-2 record with a 1.68 ERA and 85 strikeouts in 64.1 innings of work in 31 appearances.
Following the Red Storm's consecutive NCAA appearances, Hansen became the Johnnies' second-highest MLB draft pick in 2005, going 26th overall to the Boston Red Sox. Hansen went from tossing seven innings in a 5-3 NCAA Regional victory against Virginia in June 2005 to pitching for the Red Sox three months later on Sept. 19.
Hansen is also a Cape Cod League Hall of Famer, earning the induction in 2018 after stringing together one of the best summers by a relief pitcher with the Harwich Mariners. The former hurler showed signs of his dominance posting a 1-1 record with 10 saves and 44 strikeouts while not allowing an earned run in 22.1 innings of work.
Men's basketball standout Greg "Boo" Harvey shined in his two seasons playing for Hall of Fame head coach Lou Carnesecca and helped the team to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.

Harvey also boasts the fourth-best career free-throw percentage in program history, shooting 82.3 percent from the line. He ranks top five on St. John's career 3-point percentage chart, hitting 38.9 percent from distance.
Harvey is one of only nine players in program history to score 40 or more points in a game. On Feb. 14, 1990, Harvey posted a career high 40 points, including a game-tying 3-pointer to force overtime in a 90-81 victory over Seton Hall.
Harvey stepped up for St. John's and made crucial game-winning plays in the closing seconds of three other games during the 1989-90 season. Harvey came in handy against DePaul, surging the length of the court before knocking down a jumper at the top of the key to lift the Johnnies to a 55-54 victory on Nov. 22, 1989 at MSG. Harvey helped St. John's take down No. 3 Georgetown by hitting a 3-pointer with eight seconds remaining in a win over the Hoyas, 63-62, on Feb. 21, 1990, in Washington, D.C. Five days later, he hit a 10-foot jumper with three seconds remaining to lead St. John's to a 76-75 victory at Pittsburgh on Feb. 26.
In his final season at St. John's, Harvey averaged 16.5 points in 1989-90 alongside teammate and fellow St. John's Hall of Famer Malik Sealy. St. John's posted a 24-10 overall record and earned a NCAA Tournament berth. At the conclusion of the season, Harvey was presented with the Frank C. Haggerty Award, given to the best collegiate player in the metropolitan area.
Men's soccer standout Ben Hickey enjoyed an illustrious career at St. John's that spanned four seasons under Dr. Dave Masur from 1993-96. The two-time All-American helped the Johnnies to three BIG EAST Tournament titles and the 1996 national championship. Playing midfield for the Johnnies, Hickey set a program record with 39 assists over his career to go with 38 goals, the fourth highest total in program history. His 115 career points are tied for second all-time with fellow Hall of Famer Fred Bischoff.
After helping St. John's earn the 1993 BIG EAST championship, Hickey was named the BIG EAST Tournament Most Valuable Player in the Johnnies run to their second-straight title in 1994. During the 1994 tourament, Hickey scored a penalty kick goal and fired 12 shots in a semifinal victory over Boston College. In 1995, Hickey helped lead St. John's to its third consecutive BIG EAST title by scoring two goals in the tournament.
Despite falling in the league championship game in 1996, Hickey started all five contests in the NCAA Tournament and proved to be vital in the Johnnies' run to national glory. After Hickey provided the primary assist on Pawel Krakowski's overtime game-winner against William & Mary in the quarterfinals, the duo connected again for the first goal of the Red Storm's 2-1 semifinal victory over Creighton. Against Florida International in the championship game, Hickey sealed the deal with a goal off a corner kick in the 68th minute, lifting the Johnnies to a 4-1 win and raising the university's first NCAA title.
Hickey went on to play five seasons in three United Soccer League levels for the Connecticut Wolves, Long Island Rough Riders, North Jersey Imperials and New York Freedom.
Diana Poulin, one of the most dynamic goalkeepers to step foot on Belson Stadium, left her mark on the St. John's women's soccer program from 2013-16. Boasting a program-best 43 wins and tied for first with 32 shutouts during her four seasons in Queens, the Hauppauge, N.Y., native notched three BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Year honors to go with a trio of All-BIG EAST First Team selections. Poulin's 0.86 goals against average and 261 career saves also rank top-five in program history, sitting second and fifth, respectively.
Following a career-high 12 victories in her first season with the Johnnies, including the program's first NCAA Tournament victory over Virginia, Poulin earned her first major BIG EAST award with 11 wins and nine clean sheets during the 2014 campaign.
Poulin's success continued in 2015 as she led the Red Storm to its first BIG EAST Regular Season Championship with a 7-1-1 record in league play. While securing her second conference goalkeeper of the year and NSCAA First Team All-Region honors, Poulin was vital to Red Storm's success with a 0.83 GAA. She wrapped up her tenure with 11 victories and a program-record 12 clean sheets in 2016, receiving BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Year for the third-straight season and being named the ECAC Defensive Player of the Year.
Academically, Poulin thrived in the classroom having secured a pair of NSCAA Scholar All-America honors in 2015 and 2016.
Bernard Rencher, a men's basketball standout, played 86 games over three seasons for Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca from 1977-80 after transferring from Notre Dame.

The St. John's guard also recorded 785 points, 166 rebounds and 145 steals during his time in Queens.
