Czel added nine points. Latasha Thompson scored 15 for St John's, all before the interval; ten of the Red Storm's 17 made field goals were three-pointers.
Context and dates
The result improved Connecticut to 24-2 overall and 14-1 in conference play, while St John's fell to 8-18 and 3-12. The official visiting-team recap was published on 24 February but explicitly describes a Friday-evening game, and the season schedule confirms 23 February. Those dates are retained separately: the historical archive and calendar use the actual match day, not the next-day article date or this report's modern publication timestamp.
