This season is a full-circle moment for Marquette head coach Megan Duffy and senior guard Nia Clark.
In the 2018-19 season, Clark was a first-year at Miami University (Ohio) while Duffy was in her second year at the helm of the team. Then, Duffy moved to Marquette and Clark to Big East rival Xavier University, where they would play against each other.
“I wasn’t on the winning side when I was at Xavier when we were competing against Marquette,” Clark said. “You always know when you play Marquette you’re gonna get tough, hard-nosed competition and they were a tough, hard-nosed opponent.
