Golden Eagles overcome first quarter woes in 30-point win over Providence

Marquette women’s basketball started the second half of BIG EAST play on a positive note with an 85-55 win over the Providence Friars Friday night at the Al McGuire Center.

“Really proud of our team effort after kind of a slow start in the first quarter,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “Thought we were really locked in defensively. Had some great possessions that led to some easy fast-break baskets.”

Prior to the start of the game, both teams met at center court for a 24-second moment of silence in memory of NBA star Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and the other seven victims who died from Sunday’s tragedy.
