Davenport, women’s basketball shuts down Schiekel in rout against Butler

Many BIG EAST teams have been victims of Butler forward Tori Schickel’s authoritative presence in the paint, but Marquette was certainly not one of those teams Sunday, dominating Schickel and the Bulldogs, 91-53, at the Al McGuire Center.

Butler’s leading scorer and the BIG EAST’s top rebounder had her second-lowest point total of the year and shot a forgettable 3 for 11 from the field.

Marquette sophomore Erika Davenport had the challenge of guarding the Bulldogs’ sophomore star.

“You could tell (Davenport) was really focused on that and did a fantastic job,” head coach Carolyn Kieger said.
