The Marquette women’s basketball team opened its first game in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament with a dominating 100-52 win over Montana State University Friday night at the Al McGuire Center.
Senior guard Danielle King scored 11 points, which was enough to reach the 1,000-point mark in her collegiate career. The team roared on the bench when King drained a 3-pointer that officially put her in the 1,000-point territory.
“It was kind of like a relief. It was a lot of pressure on everybody,” King said. “My teammates kept telling me, ‘You got four more points.’ … I know my teammates were going to be more excited than me.
