After being outscored in the first three quarters of the game, the Marquette women’s basketball suffered its first loss at home this season on Wednesday afternoon, falling to Colorado 71-48.
“(It was) a great job by Colorado,” Marquette head coach Megan Duffy said. “I thought they were tremendous playing their game. Defensively, they were very good (and) shot the ball extremely well. (I’m) just disappointed in how we came out.”
The Buffaloes started out hot by going on a 9-0 run to begin the game, forcing Marquette to call an early timeout. The Golden Eagles did not score until the 3:19 mark when senior guard Jordan King drove to the lane and made a layup.
