It was a tough week of inter-state play for Marquette Basketball, with the women’s team falling to Green Bay on Tuesday and the men’s loss to Wisconsin Saturday.
In their final non-conference road game of the season, the women’s team found rivalry redemption after trekking down a snow-covered I-94 to take on and defeat Wisconsin Sunday.
The Golden Eagles got off to a quick start, pushing the pace and forcing turnovers on defense. Utilizing a press and trap-heavy defensive scheme, Marquette was able to force eight turnovers in the first half. Midway through the second quarter, the team had amassed a double-digit lead, with 10 of those points coming off fast-break.
