Coming hot off the presses, the Marquette Golden Eagles have punched their return ticket to the Final round of the Big East Women's Tournament. Audrey Faber was a key figure for the Creighton Bluejays in their losing effort, giving the team 20 points. In the second half, Marquette had a 12 point lead on the Bluejays, but the team stormed back, leading by a score of 68-66 when Sydney Lamberty landed a basket with 4:04 left. Then Marquette took over, going on an 8-0 run that was keyed by Allazia Blockton hitting a crucial shot with 1:38 to go. Jaylyn Agnew scored one last basket for Creighton, but the Golden Eagles held on to take the 76-70 victory. Marquette advances to the Tournament Final tomorrow night.
Next up is DePaul and Georgetown. Georgetown is coming off of what I believe to be the best game of the tournament so far, a gutsy comeback victory over Villanova. Cynthia Petke looks to repeat her stunning performance from last night for, and Dionna White figures to be right there with her too. Emotions may be high for the Hoyas, playing in their first semifinal since 1999. DePaul is coming off of a commanding win over Seton Hall that saw Mart'e Grays get 21 points, and Ashton Millender throwing buckets from way out in 3-point territory. The winner of this tilt goes on to face Marquette in tomorrow's final.
