A 7-0 run to open the game by Denver was the difference in the game on Saturday, as Marquette fell to the #13 ranked Pioneers by a final score of 18-12. MU falls to 4-9 on the season and 2-3 in Big East play, while Denver is now 10-2 overall and 4-1 in conference action.
Marquette was trailing 4-0 before they even got their first shot of the game off, and 5-0 before shot #2 came off the stick of Julianna Shearer. Strangely, though, once Denver went up 7-0 with 14:40 left in the first half, things seemed to shift in favor of the Golden Eagles for a long stretch.
