Marquette women’s basketball defeated cross-town rival University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 59-51 at the Klotsche Center Wednesday night.
“They’re (Milwaukee) just such a hard nose team, we always know it’s going to be ugly,” Marquette head coach Megan Duffy said. “We had a tough loss last year against them, so it was really important to just be focused and locked-in. I thought we came out really well and we did just enough in the fourth quarter to hang-on.”
Graduate student forward Lauren Van Kleunen made history on the night, breaking Angel Robinson’s all-time record for career games played as the Mason, Ohio, native suited up in the Blue and Gold for the 135th time Wednesday night.
