Entering the day with another chance to play upset and hoist a hubcap on the national stage, the Marquette women’s basketball team fell to No. 20 UCLA by a score of 66-58 in overtime Monday afternoon in the Battle 4 Atlantis Championship Game.
“I’m just really proud of our program for the performance we had this week,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “There’s no better way to start the day than with the final going to overtime. I thought our toughness and grittiness is good, but give UCLA a lot of credit. Down the stretch, they made tremendous plays and we just came up a little bit short.
