Marquette Women's Basketball Falls Short In Rally Against Xavier

I'm not nearly smart enough to be a coach, but I've got a really solid solution here.

Despite outscoring Xavier 50-39 over the final 22 minutes on Friday night, Marquette women's basketball took their fifth loss in league play this season as they fell to the Musketeers, 71-66.

As you can kind of guess from that 50-39 number, Marquette trailed Xavier 32-16 after a Briana Glover layup with 2:22 left in the second quarter. The 16 point margin was Xavier's biggest lead of the game and capped off a 14-3 run to open the period for the Musketeers.
