The number of wheaties eaten by junior forward Liza Karlen between the first and second quarter is unknown.
But whatever the number was, the Minnesota native picked up the pace for the Marquette women’s basketball team and went on a personal nine-point scoring run in the second quarter for the Golden Eagles.
The run solidified a 58-46 win for Marquette (19-9, 12-7 Big East) over the Xavier Musketeers (7-21, 0-19 Big East) Saturday afternoon at the Cintas Center.
Blackford Injury
With 49 seconds remaining in the opening half, Xavier senior forward Nila Blackford hit the court hard and was slow to get up.
