MILWAUKEE, Wisc. (AP) — Jordan King scored a season-high 29 points and Frannie Hottinger grabbed a career-high 21 rebounds as No. 19 Marquette topped Appalachian State 99-91 on Sunday afternoon.
Marquette added to its best start in program history with its 11th straight win and had its highest-scoring game of the season, topping 90 points for the third time this season. The Golden Eagles shot better than 50% from the field for the eighth time in 11 games.
King moved into third all-time in career games played by starting in her 135th game for Marquette, hit a career-high six 3-pointers and topped 20 points for the 15th time in her career. Hottinger’s 21 rebounds is the most by a Marquette player since Chloe Marotta had 16 against Xavier in January 2023 and her 14 points gave her a team-high third double-double. Liza Karlen scored 24 points, topping 20 points in a game for the fifth time this season while converting a career-best 10 of 11 from the free-throw line. Mackenzie Hare added 13 points.
Appalachian State had its best offensive game of the season and is only the second team to lead Marquette after a quarter, taking a 27-24 advantage. Six Mountaineers reached double-figure scoring led by Emily Carver and Faith Alston, who each had 19 points. Carver hit 8 of 16 from the field, including 3 of 7 from distance and Alston was 8-for-8 from the free-throw line and dished 10 assists. Rylan Moffitt scored 13 points, Alexis Black and Makenzie Drout each had 12 points and J’Mani Ingram contributed 10.
Marquette will play host to Bucknell on Thursday before traveling to take on No. 17 UConn in a New Year’s Eve battle. Appalachian State will play host to Mercer on Thursday.
