Nova Ladies drop a heartbreaker, 8-7. The Marquette Lady Golden Eagles (4-6, 1-3 Big East) pulled out an 8-7 victory over the Villanova Lady Wildcats (3-7, 1-3 Big East) in a Conference battle.

It would stay that way for thirteen minutes before Brittany Bruno (1g) would close the 3-3 half. Katie Comerford (2g) scored at 27:41 and Villanova took the lead that lasted for just over two minutes before Caroline Stellar (1g) knotted it up again. Lindsey Hill (1g,2a) followed by Hannah Greving (2g) gave Marquette a two-goal edge at 6-4.
McKenna bagged her 23rd but Madison Kane (1g,1a) quickly answered. McKenna (24th) and Comerford (17th) put it back in a familiar place… tied up at 7-7. Greving (17th) found rope with 4:54 to play and Marquette was able to shut down Villanova and take the 8-7 victory.
