After last year’s WNIT appearance, the Marquette women’s basketball team is dancing again.
The Golden Eagles heard its name called as an at-large bid during Sunday’s NCAA Selection Show on ESPN.
Marquette, a No. 9 seed in this year’s tournament, will take on No. 8 seed South Florida Friday afternoon in Columbia, South Carolina.
Four additional Big East teams earned selection to the tournament: UConn (No. 2 seed), Villanova (No. 4), Creighton (No. 6) and St. John’s (No. 11).
Led by two All-Big East First Team selections, senior guard Jordan King and senior forward Chloe Marotta, Marquette sits with a 21-10 overall record and a 13-7 record in conference play.
