In the Lady Lions’ first game of the week, Marisa scored 20 points en route to scoring her 2,000th career point in an 11-point win over Northwestern. Then, Marisa dropped a game-high 24 points on 10-for-13 shooting from the field in a blowout victory against Maryland. Over the two games, Marisa shot an efficient 66% on field goals and 62% from beyond the arc.
On the season, the fifth-year senior is averaging 15.5 points and three assists per game, both of which are the most on the team.
Marisa and the Lady Lions, riding a five-game win streak, return to action at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, January 31, when they play at Minnesota. The game will be live on BTN+.
