CHICAGO — Marquette women’s basketball fell to the No. 15 DePaul Blue Demons 88-73 in the BIG EAST title game for the third straight year Monday night.
“Congratulations to DePaul and coach Bruno, what a tremendous team,” Marquette women’s head coach Megan Duffy said. “Such a high octane offense that is very difficult to defend. Their pressure on us was a huge key to the game. Despite all that, I am extremely proud and very excited for what is ahead with this team, our no-quit attitude especially in that fourth quarter to try to battle back.”
The win for DePaul marks the first time in the BIG EAST Tournament a team has won three straight years since University of Connecticut did it five straight times from 2008-12.
