GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman (Nov. 27, 2025) – Riding a four-game winning streak, the St. John's women's basketball team (5-1, 0-0 BIG EAST) will open the Cayman Islands Classic on Friday against Georgia Tech (3-3, 0-0 ACC) at 5 p.m. ET.
The Johnnies two contests at John Gray Gymnasium in George Town, Grand Cayman will be streamed on FloSports with Jess and Joanna Settles on the call. Live stats will be available on RedStormSports.com.
The Red Storm will play its first regular season game outside of the United States or its territories since it competed in the Junkanoo Jam in Freeport, Bahamas on Nov. 25-26, 2011. St. John's split its contests against Iowa and Temple in its last time playing in foreign territory. The Johnnies will play the program's first-ever contests in the Cayman Islands.
St. John's has won each of its last four games and is off to a 5-1 start or better for the third time in the last four seasons. In its last contest, the Red Storm moved to 4-0 at Carnesecca Arena after dominating the second half to sink Central Connecticut State, 71-46, on Monday.
The Johnnies led by just a single point heading into the second half before orchestrating a 20-0 run to start the third quarter and held the Blue Devils scoreless for 7:35. The Red Storm dominated the glass, 50-27, marking the program's first 50-plus rebound performance in regulation since it tallied 52 against Bethune-Cookman on Dec. 11, 2022.
The Red Storm limited CCSU to just 15 second half points and 14.8 percent (4-27) over the final 20 minutes. The Johnnies have locked down the three-point line preventing their last five opponents to just 17.4 percent (12-69) from beyond-the-arc during that span. St. John's ranks second in the league in scoring defense allowing just 56.3 points per game.
Brooke Moore paced St. John's with her first-ever double-double racking up career-highs of 20 points and 11 rebounds in the win over CCSU. The junior went 8-for-10 from the charity stripe to lead the Johnnies in scoring for the fourth time this season. The Liberty transfer is averaging a team-high 13.5 points per game on 56.6 percent shooting from the field.
Kylie Lavelle has put together back-to-back double-figure scoring performances. The senior forward is averaging 12.5 points on 70 percent (10-14) from field goal range over the last two games. Point guard Shaulana Wagner leads the BIG EAST conference dishing out 5.5 assists per game. The graduate student is five assists shy of becoming the 22nd active player in NCAA Division I to reach the 400-career assist mark.
St. John's and Georgia Tech will meet for the third time and the first on a neutral floor. The Johnnies and Yellow Jackets have faced off twice in the early 2000's, splitting the series 1-1. The Red Storm won the last meeting on Dec. 17, 2004, 69-65, in Queens.
Georgia Tech comes to the Cayman Islands with an even 3-3 record on the year under first year Head Coach Karen Blair. The Yellow Jackets suffered a 87-59 setback in their first contest away from home on Sunday at Georgia.
The Yellow Jackets have excelled on the glass ranking top-30 in the country in rebounds per game (45.5), defensive boards per game (26.6) and rebounding margin (+11.5). Georgia Tech ranks seventh in the country in bench scoring with the reserve unit recording 36.8 points per game, which comprises 52.5 percent of the team's scoring. Three of the team's top four scorers have primarily come off the bench.
Last year, Georgia Tech posted a 22-11 record and qualified for its first NCAA Tournament since 2022 eventually falling to Richmond in the first round.
The Red Storm will close out the Cayman Islands Classic on Saturday night against Memphis at 7:30 p.m. on FloSports.
