After losing its first two conference matches, Marquette women’s soccer earned its first point in the BIG EAST standings with a 1-1 draw against Creighton.
“Happy to get a point in BIG EAST. Points hopefully build up. Obviously (we) were looking for three points like any team that is in the race,” assistant coach Ashley Bares said. “Wind played a factor today and created some extra opportunities for us. We need to execute and put those away.”
In the ninth minute, Creighton sophomore midfielder Ansley Atkinson got her foot on the ball and got it past Marquette senior goalkeeper Maddy Henry to put the Bluejays on the scoreboard first.
