I think it’s safe to say that Marquette‘s defense was the difference on Friday night in the Valley. The one goal of the game came by way of a penalty kick, and keeper Chandler Hallwood had to make six saves to keep South Florida scoreless as the Golden Eagles picked up a 1-0 victory. With the win, Marquette is now 2-1-0 on the year, with the only loss coming against #11 Tulsa.
The first half was a nice half of soccer, decent pace back and forth, plays on both ends. USF had the shot advantage, 6-5, while Marquette had the edge in corner kicks by the same margin.
