St. John’s basketball was able to steamroll St. Peter’s and head into conference play on a high note.
Following a season opener win where the St. John’s basketball program defeated Fairleigh Dickinson, the Johnnies kept that momentum in its home opener against St. Peter’s.
A dominant first half propelled the Johnnies (2-0) to a victory over the Peacocks (1-1), 85-47.
Still without unanimous selection to the Preseason All-Big East Team, Qadashah Hoppie, the Red Storm’s other Preseason All-Big East member Leilani Correa has been able to pace the team in scoring, while getting her teammates involved.
