Women’s basketball uses early lead, strong defensive outing to beat Creighton

The Marquette women’s basketball team clinched a first round bye in the BIG EAST Tournament on Monday after defeating the Creighton Bluejays 65-41 on “Play4Kay Night” and Senior Night at the Al McGuire Center.

“Really proud of our team’s effort tonight,” Marquette head coach Megan Duffy said. “We really categorized this as the biggest game of the season, finishing up our home games of the season. Just overall really thrilled with our defense. I thought our defense on (Temi) Carda was tremendous. I thought we limited they’re easy threes. I just overall I thought we were communicating, flying around and Creighton’s offense is very difficult to guard.
