Marquette won its first BIG EAST Championship Tuesday night against DePaul at the Al McGuire Center.
One year ago, the Marquette women’s basketball team was picked to finish last in the BIG EAST. It’s amazing how quickly things can change.
Tuesday night, they won the school’s first-ever women’s basketball BIG EAST Championship by upsetting top-seed DePaul, 86-78, in front of a rambunctious crowd at the Al McGuire Center.
“I think the thing I think of right now is our players are going to remember this for the rest of their lives and I am so happy for that,” an emotional Marquette head coach Carolyn Kieger said.
