Marquette women’s basketball earned its highest-ranked win in program history against No. 3 Texas in its opener at the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament in Paradise Islands, Bahamas.
Head coach Megan Duffy’s squad defeated Texas 68-61, all while never giving up their lead.
Senior guard Jordan King led Marquette with 25 points, while junior guard Rose Nkumu added 16 points in the victory.
“I’m so proud of Rose and Jordan and this entire team,” Duffy said. “It was an incredible win for our program.”
The last meeting between Marquette and Texas was over a decade ago in 2011.
