St. John’s will look to extend its winning streak to three games with a road victory over Hofstra on Wednesday night.
The St. John’s Red Storm will hit the road on Wednesday to take on the Hofstra Pride in women’s non-conference basketball action at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex. The Pride comes into Wednesday night’s contest with a record of 3-5, but will look to carry momentum from their most recent win into the game.
On Sunday, the Pride hosted Howard and played to a narrow 55-52 victory. LaNae’ Corbett paced the Hofstra offense with a game-high 17 points, while Chloe Sterling and Emma Von Essen also finished in double figures with 13 and 10 points, respectively. Ramatoulaye Keita led the team on the boards with a 10-rebound performance, balancing her offensive and defensive abilities evenly with five boards at each end of the court. While the team did pull off the win, it could use some work on shooting, as the Pride finished the game shooting just 29 percent from the field, 23 percent from long range and 65 percent from the line.
