Women’s basketball dominates Villanova on National Marquette Day weekend

Earlier in the weekend, Marquette women’s basketball was struggling to gain any kind of momentum against Georgetown. But two days later, it wasn’t even close by halftime.

The Golden Eagles took down Villanova 93-55 on Sunday afternoon to remain undefeated in BIG EAST play.

“I’m incredibly proud of our response (from Friday’s game),” head coach Carolyn Kieger said. “From start to finish, from (players) No. 1 to 14, everybody contributed, so I can’t say enough about our response from Friday night.”

Marquette initially couldn’t break Villanova’s zone, but the Golden Eagles’ quick offensive tempo forced Villanova to move at a much faster clip than the Wildcasts prefer.
