Karlen earns third double-double in No. 18 Marquette’s 67-39 win over Bucknell

The AP National Player of the Week shoes perfectly fit senior forward Liza Karlen’s feet Thursday afternoon.

Picking up her third double-double of the season, the St. Paul, Minnesota native scored a game-high 17 points and 13 rebounds in No. 18 Marquette women’s basketball’s 67-39 rout over Bucknell (3-8) at the Al McGuire Center.

The Golden Eagles (12-0, 1-0 Big East) are one of 12 college basketball teams that still boast an unblemished record.

Strong start

Bucknell couldn’t get the lid off its basket for the first 8:47 of the game, as Marquette ran out to a 21-0 lead before first-year forward Ashley Sofilkanich’s layup gave the Bison their first points.
