Women’s basketball picks up first win over Green Bay in Kieger era

Natisha Hiedeman and Marquette women’s basketball’s other five seniors already have an impressive set of accolades: two NCAA Tournament appearances and BIG EAST regular season and tournament titles.

However, through her first three matchups against Green Bay, Hiedeman could not beat the team located about 15 minutes away from her high school.

That changed Saturday, as No. 19 Marquette trounced its in-state rival Green Bay 80-54 for the first time since 2010.

The Golden Eagles did not waste any time in that battle, jumping to a 12-0 lead in the first quarter. The Phoenix missed their first eight field goals.
