Georgetown fumbles round two with Marquette 67-59 at McDonough Arena on Sunday night despite a 42 point performance from the Hoyas bench mob. Khadee Hession scored 20 of those points leading all Hoyas in scoring. Marquette punched first<\/a>, outscoring the Hoyas 16-8 in the first quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six-foot-one graduate guard Lee Volker nailed 2-3 from deep and led all scorers with 10 points in the first quarter. Marquette was able to pick apart the Hoyas defense, driving into the gaps and kicking it back out to shooters. The Golden Eagles recorded five assists in the first quarter, three coming from senior guard Jaidynn Mason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hoyas had a strong second quarter led by sophomore guard Summer Davis shooting perfect from the floor. Summer hit a clutch three late in the second quarter which put the Hoyas within three. But Volker answered quickly with a transition three. Immediately after, Hession has the ball with a couple seconds left in the half. She creates some space and splashes a mid range jumper at the buzzer going into halftime. Marquette holds onto the lead 31-27. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marquette opened up the lead even more with a convincing third quarter. They were able to capitalize on the Hoyas defensive mishaps shooting 80% from the floor in the third. The largest lead stretched to 16 this period, Jaidynn Morris had her way with 9 points shooting 4-5 from the floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hoyas outscored Marquette in the fourth 20-15 but it wasn\u2019t enough to dig themselves out of the third quarter slump. Khadee Hession played hard all the way to the end hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer to end the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coach Haney was unhappy with his team\u2019s defensive performance: “They [Marquette] imposed their will on every aspect of the game today, and I\u2019m not happy with our performance and sense of urgency coming out.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also stated they need to maintain high energy throughout the game, and not only in spurts like the second quarter. Coach mentioned he had a talk with Khadee earlier in the week, reminding her of how good she is and how she needs to carry herself that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khadee has been in a bit of a sophomore slump as of late and she spoke on not feeling like herself after coming back from a concussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very grateful for Coach Haney, not a lot of coaches are going to call you and speak life into you after bad games. He wants me to be great, I\u2019m so grateful for who he is and what he has done to help me,” Hession said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the scoreboard favored Marquette, the night carried meaning beyond the final margin for Khadee Hession and the Hoyas. As Georgetown continues to search for consistency<\/a>, moments of trust, belief, and renewed confidence\u2014like the one Hession described\u2014may prove just as important as any stat line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Hoyas, the challenge now is turning those moments into sustained execution as they move ahead in conference play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
