The No. 9/9 Scarlet Knights defeated No. 25 St. John’s 61-51 at the RAC tonight. Cappie Pondexter led all scorers with 24 points and also had 8 rebounds. Kia Vaughn added 15 points and 5 rebounds. But it was defense that spelled the difference. RU blasted out to a 33-6 lead in the first half only to see a 17-2 run by the Red Storm narrow the margin to 35-23 by the break. When they came back on the floor, the Knights again denied the Red Storm and breezed on to the final score.
