Two days after experiencing the first player to leave her program, Marquette women’s basketball head coach Megan Duffy gained a newcomer. Makiyah Williams, a guard in the Class of 2021, verbally committed to Duffy’s program Friday afternoon on Twitter via her high school team’s account.
“Marquette was the best fit for me. There was a lot of different coincidences, such as picking a school where I would be apart of a team that could beat a team like Connecticut,” Williams told the Chicago Tribune on her commitment.
She will get the chance to help the Golden Eagles beat UConn, as the Huskies will be returning to the BIG EAST this upcoming year.
