Carrie Madden has been a focal point of Marquette’s offense in October, scoring five of the team’s nine goals in the month entering play Sunday.
But with the season on the line, she switched roles from star to supporting actor, assisting on two of Marquette’s three goals in a 3-0 shutout of Xavier in the BIG EAST Quarterfinals.
“Being in the attack, you have to create goals either for yourself or for other people,” Madden said. “So whoever puts it in the back of the net, as long as it’s our team, I’m happy.”
Madden’s first assist came in the 11th minute after finding freshman forward Kylie Sprecher on the left side.
