The Marquette Golden Eagles fell 68-65 to the Quinnipiac Bobcats in their first tournament appearance under head coach Carolyn Kieger. It was the first tournament win in program history for Quinnipiac.
“I’m really really proud of our whole entire program,” Kieger said. “We’ve come a long way in three years and I’m glad we got to have this experience here at the NCAA tournament because we worked really hard for it, but we know we’re just getting started. We just talked about in the locker room we have to remember this pain, we have to remember what this feels like and use it as motivation.
