Thunderstruck rang in the new basketball season in front of 3,000 Milwaukee Public School students Monday afternoon at the Al McGuire Center.
The Golden Eagles opened head coach Megan Duffy’s fifth season at the helm with an 84-51 win over the University of Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks.
“I’m really proud of the overall effort for 40 minutes,” Duffy said. “The balanced scoring we had mixed with reacting to their different defenses was great.”
Overpowering opening
Marquette started the game down 2-0, but after sophomore guard Mackenzie Hare made her presence felt, it was 8-2 Golden Eagles.
