The Villanova Wildcats overwhelmed Marquette women's basketball on Sunday, securing a 64-39 victory at The Finn. After jumping to a 16-5 lead with a 12-0 first-period run, Villanova never let the Golden Eagles get closer than seven points. The Wildcats sealed the win with a decisive 17-2 run in the fourth quarter.
Marquette struggled offensively, committing 22 turnovers, though nine came in the first quarter and five in the fourth. The defeat comes after Marquette kept it competitive against top-ranked UConn just eight days ago. The Golden Eagles host Xavier on Wednesday at 6:30pm Central in their final home game of the season.
