It wasn’t as easy as the final score indicated, but following a 104-91 win over Saint Francis, Marquette women’s basketball is off to a 2-0 start.

“That was a gutsy win. That is a really good ball club and I really believe that they will win their conference,” Marquette head coach Carolyn Kieger said. “We knew it was going to be a fast pace game; they shoot a lot of threes and I thought that our team did a fantastic job of weathering the storms and fighting. I am really proud of our composure towards the end.”

Right from the tip, both teams set the fast tempo of the game by constantly running up and down the floor.
