Marquette’s 86-71 win over Xavier this afternoon was one for the record books.
With 9:06 left in the third quarter, BIG EAST leading scorer Allazia Blockton got the ball on the elbow, drove to the low post, turned and knocked down a short jumper. The basket marked her eighth point of the game and 1,000th point of her career. It took her only 56 games to become the youngest player in Marquette women’s basketball history to hit the scoring threshold.
After spending the previous two games coming off the bench, the sophomore guard returned to the starting lineup and posted a dominant 22-point, five-rebound, five-assist and four-steal performance while shooting 60 percent from the field.
