Augustine Boadi also recorded his second assist of the season with the primary helper, marking the third time in the last four games the junior midfielder has logged a point. The Red Storm held a slight advantage in shots, 12-10, and corner kicks, 2-1.
St. John's is ranked third in the BIG EAST and top 35 in the nation with 14.9 shots (20th) and 6.1 attempts on frame (33rd) per contest.
