WBB: Marquette squeaks by SJU

Johnnies fall in final seconds

Talk about a taste of your own medicine.

Unable to hang their hat on a usually dominant inside game, the St. John’s University women’s basketball team dropped a close one to the Marquette Golden Eagles, 67-64, Friday night at the Al McGuire Center in Milwaukee.

After setting consecutive season-highs on the boards last weekend against Butler and Xavier, St. John’s struggled on the glass. The Golden Eagles turned 13 offensive rebounds into 21 second-chance points and outrebounded St. John’s, 41-32. They also poured in 41 points in the paint.

It is the second straight loss for the Red Storm on the road, and also their third loss in conference play.
