Kick-off is set for 7 p.m. at Cox Family Field at Belson Stadium. Fans can tune into the contest on YouTube.
The Red Storm (3-10-4, 0-6-3 BIG EAST) battled DePaul in a tightly contested matchup, with both teams finishing with nine shots. St. John's controlled the opening half, outshooting the Blue Demons 7-0 before conceding the deciding goal in the 82nd minute. Kailey McCormick led the offensive effort with three shots, including two on target, while Kayla Bower recorded four saves.
St. John's has maintained a consistent defensive presence throughout the campaign, recording six shutouts and allowing just 17 goals through 17 matches. The Red Storm ranks sixth in the BIG EAST with a 1.00 goals-against average and fifth with a .788 save percentage. Bower has anchored the defensive unit, establishing a single-season career high with six shutouts, ranking fifth in the conference. The graduate student also sits third in the league with 1,518:57 minutes in goal and fourth with 62 saves. Across 47 career appearances, Bower has accumulated 183 saves and 10 solo shutouts.
Julianna Bivona has been a mainstay on the Red Storm back line, starting all 17 matches and playing every minute this season. The defender has logged 1,529:27 minutes in 2026, bringing her career total to 1,817:33 across 30 collegiate appearances.
The Red Storm has generated 75 of its 133 shots after halftime, accounting for more than 56% of its offensive opportunities, while five of its eight goals have come in the second half. St. John's has also held opponents to one goal or fewer in 12 of its 17 matches, including each of its last three contests. The Red Storm will look to build on its defensive consistency and offensive opportunities as it closes out the regular season against Seton Hall.
St. John's and Seton Hall will meet for the 33rd time, with the Red Storm holding a commanding 22-7-3 advantage in the all-time series. St. John's has found success in Queens, boasting a 13-2-2 home record against the Pirates, while going 9-5-1 on the road. The Red Storm has dominated the series in recent years, posting an 18-2-2 record over the last 22 meetings dating back to 2004. In the most recent matchup, St. John's battled Seton Hall to a scoreless draw in South Orange, N.J., on Sept. 27, 2025.
Seton Hall was selected to finish last in the BIG EAST Preseason Coaches' Poll after dropping nine of the 10 league games in 2025. The Pirates welcome 13 newcomers to the program.
The Pirates have posted a 7-2-6 overall record and a 3-2-4 mark in BIG EAST play, entering Saturday's contest on a three-game unbeaten streak following a 1-0 victory over Creighton on Oct. 31. Seton Hall is led offensively by Gianna Angelillo and Kileigh Gorman, who have each recorded three goals this season. Kate Kleinsmith has anchored the Pirates' defense, helping the squad register 11 shutouts, including a program-record seven consecutive clean sheets.
