After a 16 day layoff due to the Christmas Holiday Break and a COVID-19 shutdown to the program, the Marquette women’s basketball team was back in action Friday night at Creighton.
The Blue Jays handed the Golden Eagles their second BIG EAST loss of the second, 62-45.
Despite shaking off their rust early on and taking a small lead in the first five minutes, Marquette’s struggles began to pick up. Creighton took a narrow 13-11 lead into the second frame after receiving its final nine points of the first quarter from its bench.
Graduate student forward Lauren Van Kleunen had a slow start as she went 0-for-7 from the field before scoring her first point with under three minutes to go in the first quarter.
