In Tuesday’s edition of the Marquette Tribune (also available online), there’s a happy-go-lucky article from Grant Becker about how the seniors on the MU women’s soccer team are aiming at finishing their careers where they started: a Big East championship.
It’s a pretty good article, and I have absolutely zero qualms with it.
The problem is that it was published on Tuesday, two days after Marquette threw away a 2-0 lead for the third straight match and lost 3-2 in overtime to Creighton in the first match of the Big East schedule. That is, quite simply, not the kind of start to league play that you want when you’re trying to win the league title.
