MILWAUKEE – After a slow start with neither team scoring in the first two minutes of the game, Illinois State was never able to find an offensive rhythm and fell, 41-58, to Marquette on Sunday afternoon, inside the Al McGuire Center.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Marquette's Chloe Marotta scored the first basket of the game and the Golden Eagles never relinquished the lead from that point on.
Shooting just 27.1 percent from the field and 10.5 percent from beyond the arc, the Redbirds struggled to find a groove offensively with their best shooting percentage coming in the third quarter when they connected on 30 percent (3-of-10) of their shots.
