An abrupt ending to the 2019-20 basketball season did not stop St. John’s Women’s Basketball Head Coach Joe Tartamella and St. John’s Men’s Basketball Head Coach Mike Anderson from scoping out new additions for their teams.
Tartamella signed off a dynamic duo – in a web release on April 16, it was announced that junior college standouts Fapou Semebene and Rayven Peeples will join the roster.
Semebene and Peeples both venture to Queens after a year at Northwest Florida State. There, the pair led the team to 27 wins. For the first time since 1996, Semebene and Peeples helped the Raiders claim the 2020 FCSAA/Region VIII Women’s Tournament Title in an overtime win against Gulf Coast State.
