Marquette women’s basketball hosted No. 8 UConn Sunday afternoon and went stride for stride with the Huskies until the fourth quarter, ultimately losing the game 72-58 in front of a sold-out Marquette crowd at the Al McGuire Center.
“What a tremendous crowd here in the Al McGuire Center,” Marquette head coach Megan Duffy. “Just the place was rocking. I felt we got a lot of our energy for about 35 minutes from the crowd.”
In the first quarter, both teams came out firing with both offenses scoring the ball well. Within the first four minutes of the game, four of Marquette’s five starters put points on the board.
