• Since stepping foot on the court at Carnesecca Arena, the class has brought St. John’s into the national spotlight with three-straight NCAA Tournaments, its first-ever Sweet 16 in 2012 and the highest rankings in the top 25 polls.

• The senior class helped St. John’s break the record in wins (25) in as rookies in 2010, then break the record for BIG EAST wins in 2012 (13). As juniors, they conjured up national head-lines as the team defeated UConn at Gampel, putting an end to the Huskies’ 99-game home-winnings streak.

MCPHERSON SIDELINED FOR REST OF 2012-13 WITH kNEE INJuRY• St. John’s senior guard Eugeneia McPherson will sit out the remainder of the 2012-13 women’s

basketball season after injuring her right knee at Hartford (Nov. 25). McPherson had scored six points with four rebounds and two steals against the Hawks, before injuring her right knee driv-ing to the basket with 16:41 left to play. McPherson was examined on Monday, Nov. 26 at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan by Dr. Jim Kinderknecht, who administered an MRI that revealed a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Her surgery to repair the damage was suc-cessfully performed by Dr. Answorth Allen from HSS. She is currently rehabilitating her knee and Sunday’s game against Rutgers marked her first road trip with the team since her injury.

• McPherson will not return to the court this season as she rehabilitates her knee.• McPherson’s injury meets the parameters of the NCAA hardship regulation. If she elects to reha-

bilitate her injury with the goal of returning for a fifth year in 2013-14, the hardship waiver would need final approval from the BIG EAST Conference Office.

• With all four St. John’s seniors healthy and playing, St. John’s was 3-0.

The last time St. John’s had two or more players record double-doubles was against Arkansas State on Nov. 22, 2010, which was also the last time two or more players reached double-figure rebounds.

• Currently, as a team, the Red Storm has recorded 13 double-doubles. Smith leads the team with five, recording her fifth at USF with 19 points and 12 rebounds on Feb. 13. Sophomore Amber Thompson tallied her third double-double of the year against DePaul (March 4) with a career-high 20 points and tied her career-best with 16 rebounds.

• Brown also has two double doubles with her efforts against UCF and her 17-point, 10-rebound performance against Texas (Nov. 9). McKenith also has two, with her most recent with 16 points, 12 assists against Georgetown (Feb. 9).

TARTAMELLA EARNS FIRST-CAREER COACHING vICTORY• St. John’s head coach Joe Tartamella earned his first-career coaching win during the opening

STJ HIRES HEAD COACH JOE TARTAMELLA • Former associate head coach Joe Tartamella was elevated to head

coach in the spring, replacing Kim Barnes Arico, who accepted the University of Michigan coaching position in mid-April after 10 years as head coach at St. John’s.

• Tartamella was officially announced at a well-attended press con-ference on April 27, joined by his family, friends, colleagues, fans, media and members of the St. John’s women’s basketball team.

A Harlem, N.Y., native, Edwards helped the Bonnies to their first-ever NCAA Tournament berth and top 25 ranking.

• Returning to the bench after spending four seasons as an assistant at Providence College is assistant Jonath Nicholas. Nicholas was a part of St. John’s success in 2005-06, helping bring STJ back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 1980s. 2012-13 is of-ficially Nicholas’ fifth year at St. John’s as he was a part of the Red Storm program from 2004-08.

JoE TArTAmELLA was introduced as the eighth head coach in the history of the St. John’s women’s basketball program on April 27, 2012. Regarded as one of the top up-and-coming mentors in women’s basketball, Tartamella’s coaching career has been forged over a nine-year tenure assisting St. John’s all-time winningest coach Kim Barnes Arico (2003-12). Beginning as a Red Storm graduate assistant in 2002, Tartamella, 32, worked his way through the ranks and served as Barnes Arico’s associate head coach for the four seasons leading up to his elevation to head coach. He has been an integral part of a staff that has been to four NCAA Tournaments, with an undefeated re-cord in the First Round, including St. John’s run to its first-ever NCAA Sweet 16 in 2012. As a program, St. John’s has been to the NCAA Tournament seven times, four with Tartamella on staff. In his nine-year career with the Red Storm, Tartamella has played a vital role in helping turn around the St. John’s women’s basket-ball program and lead it to its present successes. During Tartamella’s tenure, St. John’s has advanced to nine BIG EAST Tournaments, two Women’s National Invitation Tournament appearances, including a WNIT Quarterfinals in 2007-08, and four NCAA Tournaments, in-cluding the program’s first NCAA Tournament berth in more than 17 years during the 2005-06 campaign, and St. John’s first-ever NCAA Regional Semifinal appearance in 2011-12. Tartamella has coached 19 All-BIG EAST and All-Rookie players, 12 All-Met selections and has enjoyed many a national Top 25 ranking during his time at St. John’s, including a program-best No. 13 Associated Press ranking during the 2011-12 campaign. Tartamella’s scouting and game-planning tactics have proved to be invaluable as St. John’s has enjoyed numerous victories over Top 25 opponents, including the team’s three historic upset-victories over Notre Dame when the Irish were ranked No. 13 in 2005-06, No. 9 in 2007-08 and No. 4/3 in 2009-10. In 2011-12, he boasted the winning scout in St. John’s win over then-No. 2 Connecticut on Feb. 18, end-ing the Huskies’ 99-game home-winning streak. With Tartamella as part of Barnes Arico’s staff, the Red Storm has claimed a .560 winning percentage. Tartamella is also known for his recruiting prowess and has con-sistently brought in top-rated talent for the Red Storm. Highlighting his role as recruiting coordinator was the 2009-10 class that ESPN.com ranked as 10th best in the nation and No. 1 in the BIG EAST. The class, seniors for the 2012-13 season, included All-BIG EAST Fresh-men Shenneika Smith and Nadirah McKenith, who have blossomed into national headliners with both earning 2012 Women’s Basket-ball Coaches Association All-Region and 2012 All-BIG EAST honors, among their many collegiate accolades. For the upcoming 2012-13 season, Tartamella was also instrumental in the recruitment of San-dra Udobi-Ufogu, who is ranked as high as No. 30 nationally in her class. In 2008-09, Tartamella’s first season as associate head coach, he helped then-freshman Da’Shena Stevens become one of the best rookies in St. John’s history, as she broke the rookie scoring record and became the second player in program history to earn BIG EAST Freshman of the Year. Stevens further developed under his tutelage, as she was named a 2010 Associated Press All-American Honorable Mention Selection, an All-BIG EAST First Team honoree and the 2010 MBWA Player of the Year.

During the successful 2011-12 season, Tartamella helped St. John’s to its third-straight NCAA Tournament appearance as a program-best No. 3 seed. St. John’s advanced to the NCAA Regional Semifinals for the first time in program history and enjoyed a 24-10 final record. St. John’s was also the No. 2 seed in the BIG EAST Tournament and advanced to the Tournament’s semifinals for the first time since 1988. Prior to St. John’s, Tartamella spent a year as an assistant men’s basketball coach under the direction of head coach Tom Spina at SUNY Maritime College in Throgs Neck, N.Y. His responsibilities in-cluded recruiting and developing long and short-range strategies, administering game plans to players for execution in practice and games, and organizing and implementing pre- and post-season con-ditioning programs. Tartamella also served as the assistant director of career services at SUNY Maritime College. After graduating from James Madison University in 2001 with a bachelor’s degree in busi-ness administration in marketing information, he coached alongside Joe Castiglie - the most successful coach in Stony Brook men’s bas-ketball history - at St. Anthony’s High School. After his stint coaching boys’ varsity, Tartamella was hired as the graduate assistant coach for the St. John’s women’s basketball team. A native of St. James, N.Y., Tartamella earned his master’s degree in marketing management from St. John’s in 2004. A fiery competitor as a coach and athlete, Tartamella was a two-sport star at Smithtown High School, enjoying success as a basketball and baseball player. His success as a prep star resulted in numerous scholarship offers before an injury ended his promising playing career and led him to coaching. A member of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), Tartamella was invited guest to the Nike Villa 7 Coaches Consortium in 2010 and in 2012. The consortium was developed to bring together university athletic directors and the country’s elite assistant basketball coaches in an effort to prepare coaches for the next level. Tartamella and his wife Shannon reside in Long Island, New York. The couple welcomed baby Brady Patrick Tartamella on Feb. 3, 2011.

QUEENS, N.Y. - Senior guard Nadirah McKenith’s 21 points led St. John’s to a 61-48 victory over Rutgers on Saturday afternoon at carnesecca Arena, extending the Red Storm’s recent winning streak to five games. The Newark, N.J., native shot 7-for-13 from the floor, was 1-for-4 from the outside and a per-fect 6-for-6 from the free throw line. As a team, St. John’s was 11-for-11 in the first half at the foul line. The victory, the sixth-straight for St. John’s (15-10, 9-4 BIG EAST) over its regional league-rival, also extended Rutgers’ head coach C. Vivian Stringer’s hunt for her 900th career win one more game. “Thefirstfourminutesandthe lastfourminuteswerereallycriticalforustopushthegameopenheading in to the half,” said St. John’s head coach Joe Tartamella. “It was a typical battle between our teams, and a great effort from Nadirah and Briana, as well as our entire team. Mary Nwachukwu and Keylantra Langley really gave us great efforts. And like I told Ashley Perez, you may have only played three minutes, but you played a great three minutes and made a big shot for us. I’m very happy with our group right now and it’s another step forward for us as we move on to the next one and we’ve got to be prepared come Wednesday.” St. John’s is back on the road again for a midweek clash at Villanova. The Red Storm and Wildcats will tip off at 7 p.m. in Philadelphia.
