Following its biggest loss of the season, the Marquette women’s basketball team gave Villanova a fight, but ultimately lost 54 to 52 after a half-court shot fell short.
“Disappointed with the ending of the game,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “Good, hard fought Big East game and we knew, playing a team like Villanova there was going to be a grind 40 minutes of kind of how the game went.”
Neither team shot well to start the first quarter, with 3:59 left in the frame Marquette trailed 4-2 as both teams combined to shoot 2-for-22.
“I thought we missed some easy layups,” senior guard Jordan King said.
