After falling to Villanova due to poor shooting Friday, Marquette women’s basketball turned things around Sunday and defeated the Georgetown Hoyas 76-56 in the nation’s capital.
As it has been a season-long trend, it was the second-half performance from the Golden Eagles that gave Marquette the win, outscoring the Hoyas 34-20 in the third and fourth quarters.
Junior guard Selena Lott and senior forward Altia Anderson combined for 25 of Marquette’s 34 second-half points.
Both teams traded shots in the first half. At the end of the first quarter, it was knotted up at 21-21 with Georgetown’s Tatiana Thompson knocking down a 3-pointer with 16 seconds left in the frame.
