Half time, Buffs lead 7-4. There was an interesting development in the first half. Marquette's best defender has received her 2nd yellow card and is now out for the rest of the match. This should be a huge advantage for the Buffs as the girl was invited to tryout for the US national team this summer.

Looked like a bad injury (knee?) to the Buffs #22 on the play where the Marquette player was removed from the game. The Buff had to be carried to the cart that took her off the field. Best wishes to her.

Good win for the Buffs. Important win. The non-conference slate has some serious challenges (DU & Northwestern headline). Need to take care of business where there are opportunities if the Buffs want to enter conference play with a winning record.

Only losing 10-6 to DU and then handling Marquette so well is highly encouraging that this team could win most of its games and maybe be in play for a post-season.
