Danielle King put on a show against the Butler Bulldogs Sunday, dropping a career-high 25 points and knocking down five 3-pointers to lead Marquette to a 78-59 victory

King made the Bulldogs play at her pace, pushing the ball in transition and causing problems for a Butler team that prefers to play a half-court game through its all BIG-EAST center Tori Schickel.

Marquette trailed Butler, 16-14, going into the second quarter after shooting just four of 13 from the field. However, for the second consecutive game, Marquette responded with a big run, ripping off a 15-4 stint to end the quarter and go up 33-24 at the half.
