It seemed like the Golden Eagles would be in for a long night during the first half of the Marquette women’s basketball game against the No. 19/18 DePaul Blue Demons on Saturday night. DePaul went on a 9-0 run early in the first quarter, and then extended that lead to 15 points later in the second quarter before heading into the locker room up 44-29. However, the second half would be a completely different story.
Marquette’s offense was rejuvenated coming out of halftime. Point guard Danielle King started scoring at will, forward Erika Davenport provided great post play and senior McKayla Yentz delivered some clutch 3’s to bring Marquette all the way back and tie the game.
