The Marquette men’s soccer team dropped its BIG EAST lid-lifter for the first time since 2011, as Villanova came back to beat the Golden Eagles 3-1 Saturday afternoon.
Marquette, now 0-5-1 on the season, is off to head coach Louis Bennett’s worst start through six games in his 12-year tenure at Marquette. Bennett cited the Wildcats’ ability to play well in the latter stages of a match.
“One of the things that Villanova is fantastic at doing is grinding out results,” Bennett said. “They grounded us down and I thought we lost our way a little bit and we only played well in spells.
