Big nights rom Jordan King and Chloe Marotta helped power Marquette women’s basketball to a 72-63 victory over DePaul on Wednesday night. The win snaps a three game losing streak for the Golden Eagles and moves them to 10-5 overall and 3-3 in the Big East.
Marquette came out of the gates hot, shooting 10-for-20 from the field and a perfect 4-for-4 from downtown as the Golden Eagles exploded out to a 26-16 lead in the first 10 minutes. A 9-2 burst in the middle of the quarter left the Golden Eagles up eight, 14-6, and they would lead by as many as 11 before a free throw from DePaul’s Zaria Hurston made it a 10 point differential after 10 minutes.
