After a week away from the court, Marquette women’s basketball did not show any signs of rust, taking down crosstown rival UW-Milwaukee 78-56 on Sunday afternoon.
First-year guard Jordan King’s performance was a key part of the Golden Eagles’ double-digit win.
The Rockton, Illinois, native had a career-high 18 points, nine of which came from beyond the arc.
“Her first half was tremendous. Just steady, making shots, and obviously running the point for us,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “Just made some timely baskets for us.”
The 5-foot-11 guard attributed her success to the rest of the team’s offensive performance.
