Marquette falls just short, ends season with 70-63 loss to Virginia Tech

The Marquette women’s basketball team concluded its season Sunday afternoon, losing 70-63 to Virginia Tech in the first round of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament in San Antonio.

“Just incredibly proud of our Marquette program and our players,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “What they have had to experience this year with three quarantines and pauses is a lot for 18–22-year old’s and I’m just proud to be their coach.”

Despite trailing 62-49 with 2:14 left, the Golden Eagles never gave up and rallied by catching fire from 3-point land as the team brought the game within three points with 30 seconds left.
