It may not have been pretty, but Marquette women’s basketball (10-4, 2-1 Big East) found a way to pull out a gritty 57-54 win over Butler (10-7, 0-4 Big East), despite the visiting Bulldogs out-rebounding the Golden Eagles 38-32, and a plus-seven advantage in second chance points.
In a back-and-forth contest throughout, no lead was safe until the very end, with eight combined lead changes.
