Liza Karlen was heartily welcomed back to the Al McGuire Center after scoring her 1,00th point in No. 23 Marquette women’s basketball’s win over Seton Hall Tuesday with a pre-game autographed ball and a photo with head coach Megan Duffy.
After the celebration, the senior forward put up a game-high 19 points in the Golden Eagles’ (15-2, 4-2 Big East) 78-47 victory over DePaul (9-9, 1-4 Big East) Saturday night.
Marquette has now played 85 games against DePaul, one of the program’s longest-running rivalries.
“When we play DePaul, it’s always an exciting and energetic game and the crowd really gets into it,” senior guard Rose Nkumu said.
