Marquette women’s basketball looks to finish off the first half of conference play Sunday afternoon as the team hosts the Villanova Wildcats.
The Golden Eagles are coming off a 73-51 win over the Georgetown Hoyas Friday. It was Marquette’s defense in the fourth quarter that allowed the Golden Eagles to overcome some first-half struggles. Senior guard Isabelle Spingola led the way for MU with 24 points, three rebounds and three assists.
Meanwhile, the Wildcats are coming off a 85-69 loss to No. 11 DePaul Friday night. Despite strong defense in the fourth quarter forcing the Blue Demons to shoot just 4-for-13, Villanova was unable to overcome 17 turnovers and a 43-34 deficit at halftime.
