QUEENS, N.Y.– The St. John's women's basketball team program has named Jailah Donald and Ber'Nyah Mayo as team captains for the 2024-25 season.
The two upperclassmen were selected by the coaching staff and players to lead the Johnnies after displaying an unwavering work-ethic and leadership skills.
Mayo made a major mark in her first year with the program after a successful three-year stint at UMass. The Wilmington, Del., native started 32 of 33 possible contests at the point guard position and helped guide St. John's to a third-place finish in the BIG EAST and a WBIT appearance.
During her senior campaign, Mayo became the first player since the program's all-time leading scorer Aliyyah Handford (2015-16) to record at least 300 points, 100 rebounds, 100 assists and 50 steals in a single-season. She got better as the season went on finishing in double-figures in 20 games including 15 of the last 17 contests.
Mayo ranked top-10 in the BIG EAST in assists per game (10th at 3.5), steals per game (10th at 1.7) and assist-to-turnover ratio (7th at 1.9).
Donald readies to take on the position of team captain as a junior after making a huge jump last year in 2023-24. The Inglewood, Calif., native increased her minutes average from 2.9 to 27.6 and ranked second on the team with 31 made triples at a 35.2 percent clip from beyond-the-arc.
A versatile defender Donald can guard four different positions on the floor and made 21 starts as a sophomore. Offensively, she amassed seven double-figure scoring efforts and shot 90 percent from the charity stripe.
The St. John's women's basketball program will kick-off its 2024-25 campaign on Nov. 4 against Saint Peter's at Carnesecca Arena. To purchase season tickets for the 50th anniversary season click here or call 1-800-GO-STORM.
