St. John's Hosts Hofstra in Big Home Opener | St. Johns Red Storm Basketball News

St. John’s returns home for a high-stakes, free-admission showdown against ranked 13 Hofstra at Cox Family Field—complete with free jerseys and posters for the first 500 fans. With a scorching 7-1 home opener record and a dominant 25-6-3 home non-conference streak over seven seasons, St. John’s is hungry for redemption after a tough road loss, buoyed by freshman star Travis Thompson’s debut goal. Hofstra, led by new coach Stephen Roche and unstoppable forward Bastian Carlman (scoring in all three games), enters undefeated and primed for a statement win. This marks the first meeting since 1990 without both teams’ longtime coaches—and sets up a dramatic Sunday rematch against Florida International, echoing their 1996 national championship clash.
