After riding high for the last two weeks behind a balanced scoring attack, the Marquette women’s soccer team suffered its first setback in Big East play.
Creighton (5-2-4, 1-2 Big East) — who entered the night winless in Big East play — defeated the Golden Eagles (6-4-1, 2-1 Big East) at Valley Fields, 1-0, playing spoil Marquette’s hot start to league play.
“Thought we came out a little but slow,” head coach Frank Pelaez said. “They got some really good pieces on their (Creighton) team that can just take advantage of that right away. The second half I thought we did a little bit better competing.
