The Arkansas women’s basketball team saw its six-game winning streak come to an end Saturday.
In the second game of the Fort Myers Tipoff, Arkansas fell to Marquette, 74-58. The Razorbacks had beaten Wisconsin on Friday to start the season 6-0. Now the team will head to Tallahassee for a game against Florida State on Thursday.
Arkansas was dominated in the paint as Marquette won the points in the paint battle, 36-14. That dominance led to 46-27 Golden Eagles halftime edge that was simply too steep for Arkansas to climb.
The Razorbacks shot just 33 percent for the game and only two players finished in double figures scoring. Taliah Scott led the team with 21 points and Saylor Poffenbarger added 13.
Florida State is the mid-point of a tough five-game stretch for the Hogs. After playing the two Wisconsin-based schools and FSU, Arkansas returns to Bud Walton Arena for games against UCLA and Louisiana Tech.
