Women’s basketball slow out of the gate, results in first loss of season

After a high scoring performance in their season-opening win against North Dakota last week, the Marquette women’s basketball team struggled to score through the first half of Wednesday afternoon’s 64-55 loss against cross-town rival University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

“Obviously very disappointed with the outcome today, but give Milwaukee a ton of credit,” said head coach Megan Duffy. “They were playing with a lot of confidence coming into the game with two very nice wins. We just have to continue to take a look at what wasn’t good and move forward because we have a quick turnaround heading into BIG EAST play.
