CLINCHING A BERTH
St. John's win in Big East tourney
Jamaica, Queens -- After coming up with a big 2-1 victory over Providence on Friday and with a little help from Pittsburgh, the St. John's women's soccer team clinched a spot in the Big East tournament.
The Red Storm took care of its part on with the win over the Friars and then had to wait for the result from the Pittsburgh-South Florida contest to find out if it was advancing to the tournament. The Panthers came away with the 1-0 win over the Bulls in Tampa, Fla., which eliminated USF from earning a berth to the tournament and clinched a spot for St. John's.
The final three seedings of the American Division will be determined after Sunday's games. St. John's (4-4-2 conference, 8-5-4, overall) sits in fourth place in the American Division with 14 points. Pittsburgh (4-5-1, 7-10-1) is one point behind STJ in fifth place, while UConn (4-3-3, 6-8-4) is in third place with 15 points. On Sunday, St. John's will take on the Huskies in Storrs, Conn. at 1 p.m., while Pittsburgh travels to face Marquette at 1 p.m.
The top two seedings in the American division have been determined, with West Virginia winning the regular season title for first place with 21 points, and Marquette is second with 17 points. Five teams from each division make the tournament, and Notre Dame, Georgetown, Rutgers, Cincinnati and Louisville clinched a spot in the National Division.
