MILWAUKEE — Looking to continue a five-game winning streak, the Marquette women's basketball team heads east this weekend for a pair of games beginning at Seton Hall on Friday, February 7 at 6 p.m. CT.

The game will air nationally on FS2 with Matt Schumacker and Kim Adams handling the call from Walsh Gymnasium.

The Golden Eagles (17-5, 8-3) overcame a 13-point halftime deficit to defeat Creighton, 52-50 last Sunday. This was largely in part to a 19-4 third quarter where MU held the Bluejays to just 2-14 shooting. Selena Lott, Jordan King and Lauren Van Kleunen all registered in double figures while Isabelle Spingola recorded a game-high nine rebounds. With 20 seconds left Van Kluenen nailed a go-ahead hook shot from with 0.7 seconds remaining, which proved to be the game-winner.

Lott continues to lead the Golden Eagles with 15.5 points per game, which is ninth in the BIG EAST, while Van Kleunen (19^th), Spingola (20^th) and Camryn Taylor (28^th) also rank in the top-30. Altia Anderson has been a force on the glass this season and is pulling down 6.5 boards per night, which ranks 12^th in the conference as Van Kleunen joins her in the top-20.

UP NEXT: Marquette heads to Queens to take on St. John's on Sunday, February 9 at 1 p.m. CT.
