Ishpeming, MI – February 13th, 2019 – The Marquette Redettes Basketball team finally met-up with the Westwood Patriots after two previously cancelled games due to weather. Calling the contest was the one and only Luke Ghiardi on Fox Sports Marquette 105.1 & 99.9FM and streaming online at FoxSportsMarquette.com/Stream!

It was a quick start to the game for the Marquette Redettes as they took the opening tip. The Patriots played some great defense in the first minutes of the quarter, and that kept the Redettes’ scoring to a minimum.

Marquette was able to pull slightly ahead as the quarter wore on, but Westwood never let up on their pressure. Just before the first buzzer, the Redettes had a small lead, but it was anyone’s game.
