Carola Tesoro Shines as Freshman Star | St. Johns Red Storm Basketball News

Carola Tesoro is lighting up the BIG EAST as St. John’s volleyball’s breakout freshman sensation, earning Freshman of the Week honors after smashing double-doubles and leading the conference in kills with 66. From Milan, Italy, she played all 13 sets, dishing out 33 digs while dropping explosive attack numbers — 17 vs. Elon, 26 vs. Old Dominion, and 23 vs. USC Upstate (earning Match MVP). Her dominance marks the first such award for a Red Storm freshman since 2023. With home-court advantage at the Lou Carnesecca Invitational this weekend against Rider, UAB, and East Texas A&M, Tesoro’s momentum could carry St. John’s to new heights — and she’s poised to be a conference powerhouse for years to come.
