After a two-week homestand, Marquette women’s basketball was back on the road against Seton Hall looking to increase its win streak to six games.
The Pirates had other plans as they defeated the Golden Eagles 72-60 on Friday night.
Seton Hall brought the early press on defense leading to first-quarter woes for Marquette. The Golden Eagles did not make a single field goal in the final 2:46 of the quarter giving the Pirates a 22-14 lead.
The second quarter was not much better for MU. With 4:01 left to play in the quarter with her team down 17, Marquette head coach Megan Duffy called a timeout when SHU was on a 21-6 run in the quarter.
