Women’s basketball falls to Northwestern in overtime

Senior guard Isabelle Spingola finished with 18 points in Marquette's overtime loss to Northwestern Nov. 14 at the Al McGuire Center.

Marquette women’s basketball dropped its first match of the season 64-56 in an overtime battle against the Northwestern Wildcats Thursday night, falling to 3-1 this season.

“Obviously a disappointing loss,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “I thought we had the momentum late in the game and had a couple of opportunities down the stretch to win.”

MU struggled early to sustain anything offensively. The Golden Eagles shot just 29% from the field in the first half and trailed by eight at halftime.
