On a night where Marquette could have clinched the BIG EAST regular season crown, No. 13 Marquette women’s basketball suffered just its third conference defeat with a 71-65 loss to Creighton.
The Golden Eagles shot just 36 percent from the field and 7 for 21 from beyond the arc. Foul trouble from senior guard Allazia Blockton and redshirt sophomore Lauren Van Kleunen also plagued Marquette throughout the game.
Only two Marquette players scored in double digits. Senior guard Natisha Hiedeman contributed 22 points to lead MU, and fellow senior Amani Wilborn added 21.
Senior point guard Danielle King suffered a lower body injury early in the fourth quarter.
