The Red Storm and the Friars are tied in the all-time series heading into the 44th matchup
QUEENS, N.Y. – The St. John's women's soccer team will take a road trip to Providence on Wednesday night at Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium.
Kick-off is set for 6 p.m. from Providence, R.I. Fans can tune into the contest on ESPN+.
The Red Storm (3-7-4, 0-3-3 BIG EAST) look to return to the win column against Providence following a 2-0 setback to Marquette on Saturday evening in Queens. The Johnnies generated four second-half shots but were unable to overcome a pair of Golden Eagles goals in the 12th and 54th minutes. Daisy Burt registered the Johnnies' first attempt shortly after halftime.
Kayla Bower turned aside five shots against Marquette, increasing her season total to 51. The graduate student has recorded six clean sheets through 14 appearances while maintaining a .797 save percentage and a 0.94 goals-against average. Bower has continued to climb the program's career statistical totals, accumulating 172 saves and 10 solo shutouts across 44 appearances for the Red Storm.
The Lincoln Park, N.J., native remains among the BIG EAST's top goalkeepers, ranking second in the conference with 51 saves and fourth with six shutouts, a new single-season career high. Bower also leads the league with 1,248:57 minutes in goal, while her six clean sheets rank 42nd nationally. In conference action, she has recorded three shutouts and 24 saves while posting a 1.00 goals-against average and an .800 save percentage.
Offensively, Carly Schuler ranks second on the squad with 13 shots, while Juliana Dane has established a new career best with 11 attempts. Dane has started all 14 matches this season and has appeared in 44 contests throughout her collegiate career, totaling more than 2,400 minutes. Julia Lombardo has also been a consistent presence in the lineup, starting 13 matches and recording seven shots, including five on target. The midfielder has registered three career points, highlighted by her first collegiate goal, the game-winner against Towson on Aug. 20.
St. John's and Providence will meet for the 44th time, with the all-time series deadlocked at 18-18-7. The Red Storm has posted a 9-8-5 record against the Friars in Queens, while going 9-9-2 on the road. The Johnnies have earned a result in six of the last eight meetings dating back to 2021, including four victories. In the most recent matchup, St. John's battled Providence to a 1-1 draw at Belson Stadium on Sept. 24, 2025. After falling behind in the 17th minute, Telma Steindórsdóttir converted a penalty kick with just 0.9 seconds remaining in the opening half to record her first collegiate goal and level the contest.
Providence entered the 2026 campaign picked to finish sixth in the BIG EAST Preseason Poll. The Friars returned 18 letterwinners from last season's squad and welcome nine newcomers to the roster. Among the returners are Courtnee Pickles and Thaea Mouratidis, who were both tabbed to the All-BIG EAST Preseason Team. The duo, along with Stephanie Scholeley, all earned All-BIG EAST honors a season ago.
The Friars enter Wednesday's matchup with a 2-3-9 overall record and a 0-2-3 mark in BIG EAST play. Providence most recently fell to Seton Hall on the road, 1-0, on Oct. 17. Caitlin Daley was in net for the Friars and made four saves on the outing.
Following Wednesday's contest, the Red Storm will return home on Oct. 21 for Alumnae Day, where the Johnnies will host Xavier for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
