It is the second loss of the season for the Golden Eagles.
As has been the trend for the last three games, the first quarter was sloppy for Marquette. Georgia dominated on both sides of the ball and held the Golden Eagles to shoot 22.2% from the field in the frame.
After taking a 15-9 lead into the second quarter, the Lady Bulldogs used a balanced scoring effort and a strong 8-for-13 shooting performance in the frame to build their lead to 30-17 heading into halftime.
