Georgetown vs. St. John's: No. 12 Hoyas women fall in regular season finale, 54-45 Georgetown went 16 of 59 from the field in its third worst shooting performance of the season and shot below 31 percent for the third time in five games. The main offenders were starting guards Rubylee Wright and Sugar Rodgers, who combined to shoot 6 for 32. Foolish fouls also proved costly for Georgetown (22-7, 11-5 Big East), with St. John's entering the double bonus at 5 minutes 39 seconds to play. Forward Tia Magee, the team's second-leading scorer, spent most of the game in foul trouble, and that in large part accounted for the senior's one basket in the final home game of her career. "I have no idea why my team would show up the way they did," Hoyas Coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said. I can't even answer that question because it's never happened before. Despite sloppy play throughout, Georgetown managed to forge a 27-18 lead shortly before intermission and held a 36-32 margin with 9:25 to play in regulation. Then the Red Storm countered with eight straight points, including both ends of bonus free throws to open and close the run, and Georgetown never led again. The Hoyas, seeded fourth in the conference tournament, did get within 40-38 on a pair of free throws from sophomore forward Andrea White, but St. John's secured its eighth consecutive win by scoring the next five points beginning with sophomore guard Briana Brown's three-pointer. Brown, who came into the game averaging 1.5 points, was among three Red Storm players with a team-high 12 points. Rodgers led the Hoyas with 13 points, but she missed 19 of 25 shots and went 1 for 8 from three-point range. The junior had seven rebounds and two assists and committed three of Georgetown's 16 turnovers, nine of which came in the second half. Georgetown went to the line 14 fewer times than St. John's and made 11 fewer foul shots, got outrebounded, 44-31, and missed 9 of 10 three-point attempts. The Hoyas" 10 percent shooting from beyond the arc was their lowest of the season, and it was the first time they failed to make multiple three-point baskets in a game. "I can take a lot of personal responsibility as a leader, as a senior, as one of our top scorers," said Magee, who went 1 for 2 with five rebounds, no assists and two turnovers before fouling out with 1:06 to play. Me being out of the game because I'm fouling too much, it hurts our team. St John's (21-8, 13-3), meantime, was able to offset a season-high 22 turnovers and 35 percent shooting, its second worst this season, thanks to clutch free throws and defensive stands in the closing minutes. The Red Storm made 5 of 6 foul shots in the final minute and limited Georgetown to one field goal over 4:44 in latter stages of the second half when the Hoyas remained within reach. "I thought it was a really, really ugly game," St. John's Coach Kim Barnes Arico said. I thought it was really two great teams trying to grind it out on the last regular season game. It was ugly, but we're happy to come away with a win.
