For the first time in years, Marquette women’s basketball has a future worth getting excited about. It may be uncertain, but it’s worth looking forward to.
The Golden Eagles’ season ended with a 93-86 loss to the Seton Hall Pirates on Sunday. Marquette compiled a 14-16 record for the season and a 9-9 record within the conference. Considering last season was the Golden Eagles’ worst in over 20 years, this is quite an impressive turnaround.
There is ample reason to believe that things will get better from here. Marquette had two players – guards Allazia Blockton and Natisha Hiedeman – on the BIG EAST’s all-freshman team, and forward Erika Davenport was a legitimate candidate to make the team as well.
