For a season that started out with a shock of bad news when Gabi Minix went out with an ACL tear after just one game, things have ended up in a positive direction for the Golden Eagles. They finished the season with a record of 16-15, including 7-9 in the Big East, a three win improvement from last year. You can add a post season berth to the list of promising developments this season, as Marquette earned at at-large bid in the Women's National Invitational Tournament!

The Golden Eagles will face off with Northern Iowa this Friday at the Al McGuire Center. Game time is yet to be decided, but you can start buying your tickets starting tomorrow morning at 9am, either in person at the Al McGuire Center or by calling 414-288-4668. Tickets are $10 for the lower bowl seats and the two sections in the upper deck with chairback seats, and $7 for the general admission bench seats. Students, you get in FOR FREE, so get ready to pack the Al to keep this post season run going as long as possible!

The winner of Marquette-Northern Iowa will go on to face the winner of Minnesota-Ball State.
