Lashae Dwyer gathered a game-high five steals against the Hoyas, boosting her BIG EAST-leading total to 61 on the season.

Ber'Nyah Mayo and Dwyer joined Lavelle in double-figures, finishing with 11 points and 10 points, respectively. Mayo has finished with double-digit points in five straight contests and in 11 of her last 14 games.
St. John's and Seton Hall will renew their rivalry for the 90th time on Saturday afternoon.
