On Saturday, November 28, Fairleigh Dickinson played host to St. John's for their first matchup of the season. The Red Storm defeated the Knights, 70-44. The first 15 points put up by FDU were scored by freshmen. Freshman
Devyn Scott made her first collegiate start for the Knights and opened the contest with six of the first seven points as the Knights took an early 6-1 lead. The Red Storm answered with a 15-0 run over the next five minutes to take a 16-6 lead with 3:14 to play in the first quarter. First-year Knight
Taylor Crystian ended the run with her first career points on an and-one layup. Over the final 2:43 of the quarter, FDU outscored St. John's 7-5 but still trailed by eight.

Coach Szumilo's Thoughts Following Saturday's Loss vs. St. John's
"It felt good to just get out there and play against somebody other than ourselves. Eight of our nine players available for today's game were underclassmen and that showed especially in the second half, but I thought we played hard overall. We definitely need to address the areas we need to improve in and use this game as a learning lesson."
Next Up
The Burgundy and Blue will travel to Fordham on Tuesday, December 8. Tip-off time has yet to be announced.
