The St. John’s Women’s Volleyball team entered the Nov. 22 weekend as the fifth seed in the Big East with two conference games remaining. To clinch a Big East Tournament spot, the team needed to win one game.

On Nov. 22, they faced the No. 3 UConn Huskies ( 24-6, 12-6 Big East), a team who already clinched the tournament, while on Nov. 23 they faced the No. 11 Providence Friars (8-21, 1-17 Big East).
