Related Topics: Providence, Meg Duffy

Marquette women’s basketball head coach Megan Duffy is undefeated at Alumni Hall.

Last year, the Golden Eagles left Providence victorious, beating the Friars 57-51 behind 24 points from junior forward Liza Karlen.

This year it was senior forward Chloe Marotta as Marquette (17-8, 10-6 Big East) defeated Providence (13-14, 4-12 Big East) 52-51 Wednesday night in Rhode Island despite a poor second half performance.

With the win, Duffy moves 4-0 on the road against the Friars. The Golden Eagles, meanwhile, sweep the regular season series.

Clutch from King

With an eerily similar feel to Marquette’s win at Butler, the Golden Eagles were able narrowly escape with a win, thanks to a big shot from senior guard Jordan King.
