COACH QUOTE
"St. John's got off to a fast start with the early goal and we struggled to get a hold of the game. The second half was better, but we were punished for defensive errors and never really threatened to score. We know we can play better than we did today. Next up a good week of training to get ready for UConn"- Head Coach Mick D'Arcy
