Marquette women’s basketball overcame a double-digit deficit in the second half, defeating Middle Tennessee 59-55 in overtime Friday afternoon in the Daytona Beach Invitational.
The Golden Eagles used a 40-25 scoring advantage in the second half to beat the Lady Raiders by four in overtime.
“This is a big win for us,” Marquette women’s basketball head coach Megan Duffy said to FloSports’ Katerina Elise Biancardi after the game. “Middle Tennessee is always tremendous program. They play a really hard style of basketball to score against and they got some young kids that are fearless. This is a character game coming off the tough Colorado loss.
