For the third consecutive season, Marquette women’s basketball will be competing in the NCAA Tournament after earning a No. 5 seed in the Chicago region Monday evening.
The Golden Eagles will face the No. 12 Rice Owls in the first round Friday at 1 p.m. Central Standard Time in College Station, Texas.
“We’re ecstatic,” senior guard Allazia Blockton said. “To be such a high seed, it just shows how much work we’ve put in throughout the season.”
“It’s a dream come true, and it’s something you never get sick of,” head coach Carolyn Kieger said.
Kieger said her team’s only focus is the first-round matchup against Rice.
