Marquette has started off league play at 2-0 for the first time since 2006-07, the year after Carolyn Kieger finished her collegiate career at Marquette. The Golden Eagles were ranked #18 in the country when they defeated Syracuse for their second Big East win of the season and went on to finish 12-4 in the league and 28-7 overall after losing to Oklahoma in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
So it’s been awhile since MU has been off to this kind of a start.
Thanks to the nature of the women’s schedule in the league now, Marquette will get two home games to try to extend their league record to 4-0 and their overall winning streak to seven straight games.
