Marquette women’s soccer entered Thursday night looking for its fourth straight game and first win of BIG EAST play.
However, the Butler Bulldogs had other plans as they defeated the Golden Eagles 1-0 at Valley Fields in the BIG EAST Regular Season Opener.
“Our tactics coming in was to anticipate and we did a great job anticipating,” Marquette head coach Frank Pelaez said. “Soccer can be a cruel game. I am proud of them. Butler had one opportunity in the second half and it scored. That is soccer for you.”
It was a battle between both teams defenses in the first half as both teams combined for six shots.
