Thanks to a conference-play high in points, Marquette women’s basketball (21-6, 10-6 Big East) coasted past Xavier (1-24, 0-16 Big East) 86-60 Saturday afternoon at the Cintas Center.
The Golden Eagles offensive outburst was propelled by their willingness to share the ball, stacking up 25 assists on 31 makes.
“We talked a ton coming into this game about ball movement, player movement and just making sure we give up good shots to get great shots,” Marquette head coach Megan Duffy said in a post game interview with FloSports.
