Marquette entered Wednesday’s Big East rivalry game against DePaul looking to snap its three-game losing streak.
The Golden Eagles did just that, defeating the Blue Demons 72-63 at Wintrust Arena.
“I’m just so proud of our effort,” Marquette head coach Megan Duffy said after the game to Big East Digital Network’s Sideline Reporter Kacy Standohar. “We were down Liza Karlen tonight and the new players that had to play more minutes were awesome. We made some shots, but our defense (made) it as difficult as possible. (I’m) just proud of our effort here on the road.”
The Blue Demons got on the board first when senior forward Jorie Allen made a basket in the paint.
