Queens, N.Y. – Junior Laura Dramis (Farmingdale, N.Y.) made seven saves on Saturday night, but the Seton Hall women's soccer team was outlasted by St. John's, 1-0, in a BIG EAST Conference match at Belson Stadium.

Turning Point

The Pirates (0-9-5, 0-3-3 BIG EAST)) had an excellent opportunity in the XXth minute, when the ball was sent into the St. John's (6-8-1, 2-4-0 BIG EAST) box. Junior Julia Stirpe (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) and sophomore Siobhan McGovern (Cranford, N.J.) were able to force the ball toward the back of the net, but the Red Storm goalkeeper dove on the ball right as it was able to cross over the line.

From there, Seton Hall was unable to produce a better look throughout the remainder of the match.

Dramis made a handful of impressive saves down the stretch, but St. John's was able to convert a 2-on-1 opportunity in the 68th minute for the game's lone tally.

67:38 – St. John's – Christina Bellero (6) converted Lucy Whipp pass across front of goal from left to right
