Senior guard Allazia Blockton became the leading scorer in Marquette women’s basketball history in Sunday’s 76-57 win over Northwestern.
Coming into the game, Blockton needed 15 points to tie Krystal Ellis’ record of 1,940 career points. She overcame that plateau in the fourth quarter.
Senior guard Natisha Hiedeman pulled down the defensive rebound and noticed Blockton sprinting down the court. Blockton hauled in the cross-court pass, took a dribble and banked it in from the left block through contact to secure the record.
“It feels good. I didn’t know I was anywhere close,” Blockton said. “I don’t really pay attention to stuff like that, so I was just focused on getting the win.
