In what was a battle of two Interstate-94 rivals at the Al McGuire Center Wednesday night, with Marquette women’s basketball coming away with an 88-85 victory in overtime.
With a second left on the game clock in the fourth quarter, the Blue Demons had a chance to take the lead from the free-throw line but after only knocking down one of two Marquette was given the chance to win the game.
After a timeout called by head coach Megan Duffy, graduate student forward Lauren Van Kleunen hit what looked to be the winning basket with 0.4 seconds left of play but it was ultimately overturned sending the game into overtime tied at 73-73.
