Marquette secures a top five finish in BIG EAST with win over Providence

Behind a career-high 24 point performance from sophomore forward Liza Karlen, Marquette women’s basketball ended off is four-game road trip in winning fashion defeating the Providence Friars 57-51 Friday night at Alumni Hall.

“For a lot of the game we weren’t the tougher team, give Providence a lot of credit,” Marquette head coach Megan Duffy said to BIG EAST Digital Network’s Ashley Liotus. “We were one step slow and finally by the last 15 minutes I thought I saw my team making those hustle plays. At this point in the season, anytime you can get a win no matter how pretty or ugly it is we’re extremely happy.
