After playing over 100 games at Purdue University, graduate student guard Karissa McLaughlin has been able to find her footing at Marquette.
However, McLaughlin said she’s doing something more than she ever has and it’s not on the offensive side of the ball.
“Coach (Megan) Duffy (and I), we laugh about it all the time, I’m like ‘Coach Duffy this is the most defense I’ve ever played in my entire life,'” McLaughlin said. “I mean that’s what the Marquette way is, is playing defense and the offense will come.”
With an ever-growing responsibility on defense, sophomore guard Rose Nkumu said she has found McLaughlin getting better in that area of her game.
