Large senior class ‘hungry,’ well-equipped for deep postseason run

It’s no secret that expectations are high for head coach Carolyn Kieger’s original recruiting class at Marquette.

“We’ve been saying for the last two years now that we want to take this program farther than it’s ever been,” Kieger said. “And the farthest we’ve been is the second round.”

Now with the team’s five players to regularly start in the class — Allazia Blockton, Natisha Hiedeman, Danielle King, Amani Wilborn and Erika Davenport — entering their senior year, Kieger has one more chance to accomplish that goal with them, and the goal is obvious.

“We definitely want to be playing in the Sweet 16,” Kieger said.
