The Golden Eagles (5-4) battled back after the Red Storm (6-5) took a late lead, and Wagner scored his third of the day to end the deadlock for good.

Jack Zerillo also netted a hat trick in the win.

The Red Storm hung with Marquette in the first quarter, tying things up both times the Golden Eagles went ahead. It was in the second when the Golden Eagles took over.

St. John's had a two-man advantage in the second, but couldn't score and an offsides penalty ended any momentum. 

Jason Debenedictis notched his second tally with five seconds left in the third, then gave the Red Storm a 9-8 lead to start off the fourth quarter. 

After the Red Storm took their first two-goal lead, Jack Zerillo netted his third tally to bring the Golden Eagles back within one. Connor McClelland tied it moments later.

Matt Hanley made three late saves for the Red Storm to preserve the tie between the end of the fourth frame and overtime. Cole Blazer matched him with a late overtime save of his own to give the Golden Eagles their chance.

The Golden Eagles had lost four of their last five games, including a week ago against Villanova. St. John's has now dropped three straight games, including conference contests against Providence and now Marquette.
