Graduate Transfer Rachel Kent and senior Caroline Strande each scored 15 to lead the Bulldogs. Ari Wiggins gave the Bulldogs the lead when she recovered a loose ball and took it coast-to-coast before getting fouled and making one of her 2 free throws with 3.6 seconds left.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Golden Eagles are coming off a 56-50 home loss to St. John\u2019s Tuesday during their senior night.

They have won 4 of their last 5 conference games after starting 1-10. Freshman Riley Makalusky has played a major role in Butler\u2019s recent success averaging 11.8 over the past five games and was recently named Big East Freshman of the Week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even after the loss to St. John\u2019s, Marquette is still 10-7 in conference play and 21-7 overall. Karlen leads the team with averages of 17.9 points and 7.7 rebounds. Slowing her down will be a major priority for the Bulldogs if they want to try and pull off the upset and make it an even more special night for the 5 seniors being honored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming off a big 73-70 win at DePaul Wednesday night, the Butler Women\u2019s Basketball team hopes to ride that momentum Saturday when they host Marquette on the team\u2019s senior night.
