Cara Consuegra’s return to the Al McGuire Center for her first victory as the Marquette women’s basketball coach was filled with emotion and screaming children.

The Golden Eagles (1-2) dominated the Illinois-Springfield Prairie Stars (0-4) from jump to horn in a 92-37 victory.

Yet it wasn’t the inaugural win that defined the moment for Consuegra.

“It was more special when I came out initially, just the feeling of walking out to a familiar place,” Consuegra said.
