Christmas arrived four days early for Marquette women’s basketball, receiving a come-from-behind 53-51 victory over Belmont Saturday afternoon.
“Really proud to get the win. Did just enough down the stretch. (We) created that defensive creating pressure to Belmont’s offense,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “Really thrilled to get the win heading into conference play.”
Down five late in the fourth quarter, the Golden Eagles relied upon their lockdown defense. A 7-0 run to end the game allowed MU to come out with the win.
