Unique Drake strung together one of the most prolific scoring performances in St. John's women's basketball history at Wintrust Arena. The redshirt senior went for 36 points, which was the most by a Red Storm player since Tawana Jackson tallied 36 against Boston College on Feb. 1, 1995. Drake's career-best point total ranks tied for third all-time as she made a career-high field 12 goals and nailed six 3-pointers.
The Johnnies grabbed 58 rebounds on Thursday night, the program's most since it hauled in 62 against Marquette on Feb. 13, 2015. Three players- Tara Daye, Phoenix Gedeon and Jillian Archer tallied nine or more rebounds in the winning effort. Archer pulled down a team-high 11 boards and added 16 points for her sixth double-double of the season.
