Women pour it on in win over Marquette
Seton Hall AthleticsIn its first home Big East matchup this season, the Seton Hall women’s basketball team improved to 13-1 overall and 3-0 in Big East play with a dominant 99-68 win over Marquette on Sunday.
The Pirates wasted no time out of the gate, running out to a 15-0 lead before the Golden Eagles finally made a basket six minutes into the game. They never lost hold of the lead and exploited defensive mismatches all afternoon.
There was a scary moment in the first quarter when point guard Shakena Richardson fell hard while trying to grab a rebound. She was eventually able to walk off the court on her own power, and checked back in later in the quarter.
