After earning its longest winning streak of the season Sunday, Marquette women’s basketball saw it come to an end Friday night falling to the Villanova Wildcats in overtime by a score of 74-63 at Finneran Pavilion.
It is just the third time in the Megan Duffy Era that the Golden Eagles have lost a game after leading at halftime.
Marquette came out firing from deep in the first quarter, knocking down two 3-pointers within the first five minutes. Then the Golden Eagles’ offense would then go cold as the Wildcats defense held them scoreless over the next few minutes heading into the under-five media timeout.
