In front of 3,061 fans, a large majority of which consisted of students from Milwaukee Public Schools, the Marquette women’s basketball team started its 2022-23 campaign against the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights.
“For this to be our home opener and that’s the crowd we have, I mean it’s amazing,” senior guard Jordan King said. “Just to be able to bring in the community of Milwaukee and really integrate Marquette Athletics with our community, it’s obviously a special feeling.”
The Golden Eagles opened up its 30th season with a 75-46 victory.
“Great to start the college basketball season with a win today,” head coach Megan Duffy said.
