I spent most of Thursday night thinking that the western net at Engelmann Stadium on the east side of Milwaukee had a magnet attached to it or built into it.
After all, shots were 9-1 favoring Marquette in the first half when they were shooting at that net and Milwaukee keeper Kendall Edwards. Three saves by Edwards in the opening 45 minutes kept things scoreless even with that shot differential running in the Golden Eagles’ favor.
Then, after halftime, it suddenly started to feel like whatever Marquette was doing right in the first half just went away.
