St. John's basketball (David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports)
St. John’s basketball held off Xavier to advance in the Women’s Big East Tournament.
It was a new season for the St. John’s basketball team, the postseason to be exact. But everyone was back to step one with a 0-0 record and the Johnnies made the most of its fresh start.
The Red Storm raced out to an 9-0 run and ended the first quarter leading 21-11 thanks to nine points on 4-of-4 shooting from All-Big East First Team selection Leilani Correa.
