Creighton women’s basketball (13-3, 5-0 Big East) survives Marquette’s (10-5, 2-2 Big East) comeback behind a hot shooting night from downtown. The Bluejays outlasted the Golden Eagles, 71-68 thanks to a miss in the waning seconds of the game Wednesday night at D.J. Sokol Arena.
Comeback falls short
Marquette finished the game on a 6-0 run and a 14-3 extended run after facing deficits of 45-30 and 68-54 by holding Creighton to 0-for-7 from the field to end the game.
