Women’s basketball closes out regular season with win

The Marquette women’s basketball team ended their season on a winning note by beating Villanova 62-53 Sunday.

It was Marquette’s fifth win in a row as it gears up for the BIG EAST Tournament next weekend. Prior to Sunday’s game, the Golden Eagles secured the third seed in the tournament, while the Wildcats were locked in at the four seed.

“It gives us a lot of momentum going into this first round game against Georgetown. I think our team is very confident right now,” head coach Carolyn Kieger said. “I think the best thing about us though is we are playing for each other.
