Karissa McLaughlin scored 21 points in just 23 minutes in her Marquette debut to lead four Golden Eagles in double digits as Megan Duffy’s squad wrecked Alcorn State 96-35 on Tuesday night.

Yes, 96-35. Not a typo.

Technically speaking, this is a come from behind victory for Marquette. Diamond Hall rained in a three on Alcorn’s second possession of the game to put the Braves up 3-2. On the other end, Lauren Van Kleunen scored after a Liza Karlen offensive rebound to kick off the 94-32 run over the final 38:42.

The lead hit 10, 13-3, when LVK split a pair of freebies with 4:35 left in the first quarter.
