Kamm leads Golden Eagles with 12 points
NEW ORLEANS, La. ? A barrage of three pointers and a hot start by Tulane were too much for Marquette to overcome as the Golden Eagles lost to the Green Wave, 74-54.
Tulane jumped out to a 19-point lead by halftime, 39-20. The Green Wave opened up the game with an 11-0 lead on a pair of three pointers by D?Aundra Henry, who had 13 at the break. Marquette (12-6, 3-2 C-USA) never got closer to a nine-point deficit in the first half. Tulane (9-10, 1-5 C-USA) led by as many as 24 in the second half.
Henry hit four three pointers in the game, leading the way for Tulane, who had seven three pointers. The Green Wave hit 7-of-18 from behind the three-point line. Marquette was 4-of-23 from behind the arc.
The Golden Eagles were more productive in the second half than the first, scoring 34 points. Danielle Kamm scored seven in the second half to finish with a team-high 12 points. Christina Quaye finished with 11 points and Efuleko Osagie scored seven off then bench for Marquette.
Henry scored 22 for Tulane to lead all scorers. Jami Montagnino had a pair of three pointers for the Green Wave, scoring 14 points.
Kamm kept Marquette in the game early with five first half points, but the inside game of Tulane gave Marquette difficulties. Lakethia Hampton, Tulane?s leading scorer, came off the bench for eight points by the half. She finished with 10. Montagnino also added eight for the Green Wave by the break.
Quaye also had five points for Marquette by the break. Marquette turned the ball over 14 times by the half. Tulane, who finished the game shooting 48.0 percent, hit 46.9 percent of its shots by the break, including 36.4 percent from behind the arc. Marquette hit 36.4 percent from the floor by halftime.
Marquette returns home for the first of a two-game home stand, taking on USF on Friday, Jan. 28 at 7 p.m. at the Al McGuire Center. That game will air locally on WMLW-Ch. 41.
