Over 1,000 school-aged children packed the Al McGuire Center Friday afternoon, creating an electric environment, as the Marquette women’s basketball team hosted the Georgetown Hoyas for Field Trip Day, defeating them 73-51 in convincing fashion.
With the win, Marquette is now in a three-way tie for third place in the BIG EAST standings. Meanwhile, the Hoyas have now lost six straight conference matchups.
“The building was rocking and loud. It was wild,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “There were signs that were lit up … I couldn’t hear myself think at times. It was awesome and kudos to our marketing team for getting (the kids) here and bringing a ‘Kid’s Day’ home-court advantage.
