CHICAGO — It was a battle between the youngest tenured coach and the oldest tenured coach in the BIG EAST at Wintrust Arena with Marquette women’s basketball defeating Villanova 72-59 in the BIG EAST Quarterfinals Saturday night.
“Just thrilled, obviously in March to get a win no matter how ugly or pretty it looks,” Marquette head coach Megan Duffy said. “Thought our team was able to keep its composure when Villanova was able to make different runs throughout the game. Just can’t tell you how proud I am of this overall group to individually make plays whether on the offensive or defensive end to get this win today.
