It wasn’t until four minutes into the game that the Musketeers were finally able to make themselves at home.
The reason? Marquette women’s basketballs’ defense.
The Golden Eagles (14-6, 6-3 Big East) cut Xavier’s scoring opportunities and forced turnovers back into their own hands finishing with 20 points off turnovers.
And that was just the start. Scoring was an area of difficulty for the Musketeers (6-15, 1-9 Big East), as they averaged 52.
