Van Kleunen makes clutch shot to lift WBB over Creighton

After a slow start in the first half, Marquette women’s basketball completed an incredible comeback Sunday, defeating the Creighton Bluejays 52-50.

“I couldn’t be more proud of this group of young women,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “Their response at halftime to get back to being ourselves, to get back to playing Marquette basketball. … This was a huge win for our team.”

It was a whirlwind fourth quarter, even though both teams scored only five points in the first five minutes of the frame.

From there, it was a series of big plays in crunch time that defined the game.
