Marquette women’s basketball (9-3, 1-0 Big East) notched its first conference win and second away victory of the season, 78-59, against the DePaul Blue Demons Sunday afternoon (6-9, 1-1 Big East). With the win in Chicago, Marquette has now won six straight contests against DePaul.
This season, Marquette won once before on the road, a 59-57 barnburner Nov. 29 at Rutgers, but Marquette maintained the tempo, pacing and energy of the contest throughout, even with DePaul’s graduate student forward Jorie Allen scoring all her 24 points in the second half.
