After beating Seton Hall in dominant fashion, the Marquette women’s basketball came into Wednesday night’s matchup against Xavier hoping to extend its Big East win streak to two games.
The Golden Eagles (13-7, 6-5 Big East) did just that defeating the Musketeers 64-40 to move to 9-2 at home on the year.
“I thought tonight was overall just a really great team win. Always good to protect your home floor. Defensively, I thought we did a lot of great things to slow down Xavier,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “A little bit of a slow first and second quarter, but loved us after that first minute of the third quarter (when) we came out, made a great run, scored 21 points and just never looked back.
