Poor shooting, costly turnovers hand Marquette tough road loss to Villanova

After pulling off a big home win against Butler last Sunday, Marquette women’s basketball returned on the road looking to extend their winning streak to three games.

The Villanova Wildcats had other plans for the Golden Eagles, pulling off the 61-47 upset Friday night.

As the trend has been throughout the entire season, the first quarter was sloppy for MU. Despite going on a four-minute scoring drought at one point during the quarter, the score was tied 13-13 by the end of the frame.

The second quarter was the Mary Gedaka show. The senior guard scored nine points in the quarter, shooting 3-for-4 from the field and 2-for-2 from beyond the arc.
