As Marquette women’s basketball coach Carolyn Kieger walked down the tunnel to where she would hold her post-game press conference, she let out an excited yelp and exclaimed, “That was fun,” referencing her team’s 96-81 victory over DePaul.
The win completed the season sweep over DePaul, marking the first time since the 2003-’04 season that Marquette has beat DePaul twice in one year. In addition, Marquette remained unbeaten against top-25 teams this season, as the Blue Demons entered Sunday’s game ranked No. 17/15.
