After smashing Villanova on Friday and fending off Georgetown on Sunday, Marquette women’s basketball is 5-0 in Big East play and 14-3 overall. As a reward for their five game winning streak, the Associated Press Top 25 voters have collectively elevated the Golden Eagles to be ranked #14 in the country this week. As was the case last week when they were ranked #15, this is now the highest ever ranking in program history.
Marquette earned 352 points in this week’s poll. That’s not all that far from #13 Gonzaga with 369 points, but pretty far away from #15 South Carolina at 273 points.
