Point guard Danielle King "got the game ball" in Marquette's victory against DePaul, according to head coach Carolyn Kieger.
The much-anticipated rematch of last year’s BIG EAST title game ended with the same result, as Marquette handed DePaul its first in-conference loss of the season, 93 -81. Marquette has now beaten the Blue Demons in four consecutive matchups, which had never been done before in program history.
Marquette started the game with a 10-0 run and finished the first quarter with a 28-13 lead. Despite several hot stretches from DePaul, the Golden Eagles would not relinquish the lead for the rest of the game.
