Senior guard Jordan King put up 17 of her new career high 30 points in the second half as Marquette women’s basketball turned a three point halftime margin into a 24 point final, 77-53, against Loyola Chicago on Saturday afternoon. With the win, the Golden Eagles are now 8-2 on the year.
It looked like Marquette was going to run away with this one from the get go. King, Rose Nkumu, and Nia Clark teamed up to score the first nine points of the game to put MU up 9-0, and man if they didn’t look like they were firing on all cylinders right away.
