Backed by 24 points from Natisha Hiedeman and 23 points from McKayla Yentz, Marquette parried an attack from the Seton Hall Pirates on Tuesday night and held on for an 83-77 victory. MU is now 4-2 in Big East play and 13-4 overall.
This victory should have been over much earlier than the final horn. The Golden Eagles went on an 18-0 run bridging the very end of the first quarter into the second to take a 35-14 lead and eventually extended that into a 60-37 lead with 5:56 left in the third quarter. All you have to do is just play them even for 15:56 and you coast to victory.
