Butler Seeks Road Win Against Marquette in Big East Clash MILWAUKEE (Interstat) — The Marquette women’s basketball team looks to build on a decisive conference victory when it hosts Butler in a Big East matchup Sunday at Bradley Center. The Golden Eagles (5-3) are coming off an 85-54 road win over DePaul on Thursday. Skylar Forbes led the charge with 19 points in just 22 minutes, continuing her strong early-season play. Forbes is averaging 17.4 points over her last five games, including a 24-point performance in a narrow loss at Gonzaga. Butler (4-5) aims to rebound from a 51-70 loss at Seton Hall that same night. The Bulldogs have struggled offensively in their losses, failing to reach 60 points in any of their five defeats. Guard Saniya Jackson, who scored 12 points against Seton Hall, has been a consistent contributor. She has reached double figures in scoring in five of the last seven games. This contest opens the conference schedule for both teams. Marquette holds a slight edge in record and will rely on its defensive presence; Forbes has recorded multiple blocks in four games this season. Butler will need to find scoring beyond Jackson to challenge on the road. Kennedy Langham (10 points vs. Seton Hall) and Anna Wypych are among those who must provide support. The Golden Eagles have won their last two home games by an average of 25 points. Butler’s road record this season is 2-3, with wins at Dayton and against Northern Kentucky at a neutral site. Following this game, Marquette will host Le Moyne on Dec. 14 before a pivotal conference road test at Connecticut on Dec. 17. Butler returns home to face Indiana State on Dec. 11. Tip-off is set for Sunday afternoon. The game will be a key early indicator of both teams’ positioning in the Big East standings.
