Not even the fire alarm could stop Marquette’s hot shooting Friday afternoon, as the Golden Eagles came out with a 96-60 rout over Seton Hall.
Marquette dominated Seton Hall early on and hopped to an early 13-4 lead. The Golden Eagles shot 64 percent from the first half.
“Our first five minutes was kind of a blow to them,” head coach Carolyn Kieger said. “We started out with a hunger and with a desire that we talked about after the Georgetown game.”
The Golden Eagles also shut down the Pirates’ three leading scorers: Nicole Jimenez, Inja Butina and Shadeen Samuels, who combined for only four points at the half.
