The Marquette Golden Eagles defeated the Eastern Illinois Panthers Friday night 75-50. They have now earned their second win of the season.
Marquette was led by their defense, as they held EIU to a field goal percentage of just 26%. They were also dominant on the glass, outrebounding the Panthers 50 to 31.
“We should be a good defensive team, we should be a really good rebounding team,” head coach Steve Wojciechowski said. “And the offense will come.”
First-year forward Dawson Garcia was once again dominant on offense for the Golden Eagles with 16 points and eight rebounds.
