Marquette takes down St. John’s in a close battle

Marquette women’s basketball pick up its 15th win of the season Sunday afternoon defeating the St. John’s Red Storm by a score of 70-65 at Carnesecca Arena.

“I’m so proud of our team,” Marquette head coach Megan Duffy said in a statement. “In that fourth quarter, we knew it was going to be a flat-out battle. Overall, there was a lot of grit by both teams. I loved our execution down the stretch in getting a few big stops.”

It was a slow start for Marquette’s offense, as St. John’s jumped out to an early 11-6 lead following senior guard Kadaja Bailey’s basket at the 5:16 mark.
