#3 St. John's will travel to #1 Bishop McNamara on Tuesday, January 22nd.

Both times St. John's and McNamara played last season, the Cadets pulled out close victories en route to winning the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference.

While St. John's returned four starters from last season, including All-Met Player of the Year Azzi Fudd, McNamara also brought back the majority of its contributors. The Mustangs' trio of Jakia Brown-Turner, Aliyah Matharu and Madison Scott is one of the country's most formidable.

On Tuesday night, McNamara will seek its first win against St. John's since Feb. 2016 when it hosts the Cadets in a matchup of the area's top two teams. The game will feature four ESPN Top 100 recruits from the players' respective classes.
