Lauren Van Kleunen attempts a shot against Illinois State in MU's 58-41 win Nov. 10 at the Al McGuire Center.

Marquette women’s basketball defeated the Illinois State University Redbirds 58-41 on Sunday afternoon at the Al McGuire Center.

“I am most proud of this win out of our first three games because we did it a little ugly and relied on our defense,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “We did a great job defensively, making it difficult and taking away some of their initial actions and using some of our athleticism.”

The Golden Eagles had a slow start in the first quarter for the third straight game.
