Golden Eagles' women's basketball team storms back

Marquette University women's basketball coach Carolyn Kieger may want to use Sunday's halftime speech again and again.

Whatever she said worked wonders.

The Golden Eagles shot a blistering 61.3% after the break scored 61 second-half points en route to a 87-72 victory over Georgetown at the Al McGuire Center.

MU (6-10, 1-4) couldn't buy a basket in the first quarter. The Golden Eagles were held without a field goal for the last 4 minutes, 58 seconds of the first quarter.

Marquette trailed by 18 points in the second quarter and went into the break looking at a 38-26 deficit.
