After suffering a setback Saturday against Georgia, Marquette women’s basketball turned things around Friday and defeated the Xavier Musketeers 76-48 at the Al McGuire Center.
Since joining the BIG EAST in the 2005-06 season, Marquette is 10-7 in their conference opener.
“Just thrilled to get our first Big East win of the season,” Marquette head coach Megan Duffy said. “Thrilled for our team bouncing back from a tough game down in Florida against Georgia. Thought we had a great week of practice and we did a nice job executing our offense and made some some great defensive plays in that first half, just a lot of good numbers on the stat sheet today.
