Women’s basketball survives late scare against Michigan

No. 22 Marquette women’s basketball defeated the University of Michigan Wolverines 85-74 at the Al McGuire Center Sunday afternoon.

“That first half, we looked like the best team I’ve seen in about four years here,” head coach Carolyn Kieger said. “We were clicking on all cylinders, sharing the ball (and) making the right read. Our defense was following the game plan (and) packing the paint.”

The first and second quarters of action were utter domination from the Golden Eagles. Senior guards Natisha Hiedeman and Amani Wilborn dominated early on. Hiedeman scored heavily from beyond the arc and Wilborn drove to the lane at will.
