Marquette defeats Providence behind another career performance from King

Following a three-game road trip, the Marquette women’s basketball team returned home to face the Providence Friars. Behind a career-high 31 points from senior guard Jordan King, the Golden Eagles defeated the Friars 80-57 Saturday afternoon at the Al McGuire Center.

“(I’m) just really proud of our overall team contributions,” Marquette head coach Megan Duffy said. “Jordan King was tremendous after having a slow start. She really got hot the rest of the game. (I) just love the versatility and depth of our team today.”

Both teams struggled offensively to begin this contest, but it was Marquette who got on the board first with a layup from senior forward Chloe Marotta.
