SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - Sidney Cooks and Lauren Park-Lane had double-doubles, Amari Wright scored 17 points without missing a shot, and Seton Hall defeated previously unbeaten No. 24 St. John's 72-51.
Seton Hall (12-4) has won 10 of its last 11 games and is 5-1 in Big East play for the first time since at least the 2014-15 season. It was the Pirates' second win over a ranked team this season, as Marquette was ranked No. 24 when losing to the Hall 82-78 in December.
Cooks had 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Park-Lane scored 15 points and added 11 assists for the Pirates. Wright's 17 points came on 6-for-6 field goal shooting, 1-for-1 from 3-point distance, and 4-for-4 from the line. Sha'Lynn Hagans added 11 points.
The Pirates shot 73.3% in the third quarter and scored 25 points to extend their nine-point halftime lead to 59-37. The Pirates had eight assists on 11 made shots and forced six turnovers in the period.
St. John's shot 29.4% in the first half and made only 2 of 11 3-pointers, falling behind 34-25 at halftime.
Kadaja Bailey had 18 points, six rebounds and three assists for the Red Storm (13-1, 4-1). Jayla Everett added 11 points and Jillian Archer grabbed 12 rebounds.
St. John's, off to its best start in program history, suffered its first conference loss after reaching 4-0 in the Big East for the first time in 40 years.
The Pirates won all three games in a three-game conference homestand and now hit the road for games at Providence on Sunday and at No. 25 Creighton on Wednesday.
