four years.”

Wolf said the versatility of Marquette’s offense has given teams trouble when trying to execute their game plans.

“I’m always talking to Jill (Rizzo), our defensive coordinator and (ask) ‘What would you do? What do you pick as our biggest strength?’” Wolf said. “That puts teams in a really tough position because it’s hard to have a defense that can protect against everything.”

Foust said the Golden Eagles scoring depth proved to be a challenge for then-No. 24 UConn April 15, when the Golden Eagles scored 10 first half goals.

Marquette enters the final week of the regular season currently tied for first place with Denver at a 14-1 overall record and 3-0 Big East record. It’s the first time the Golden Eagles have been opened league play at 3-0.

Despite breaking many offensive records this season, Wolf said the unit hasn’t reached its peak yet.

“The sky is the limit for this group and that is what is really exciting,” Wolf said. “We’ve never made it past the Big East semifinals, so that’s step one to get to and win the Big East championship. I have so much trust that this team is going to leave everything they have in this season.”

Marquette finds itself in an unprecedented situation come Saturday’s regular season finale against No. 3 Denver as it has a chance to lock up its first Big East regular season title.

Schumar said with this on the line, she is focusing on keeping the same level of energy from each game this season.

“Before every game it’s always ‘Mary just have fun’ because that’s why you’re here,” Schumar said. “I always just try to bring that whether it’s dancing on the sidelines or picking up my jacket, but (just) having that fun mentality.”
