Marquette women’s soccer came into Sunday afternoon’s game at No. 1 seed Xavier looking to hold their No. 4 seed in the BIG EAST.
However, the Musketeers had other plans as they defeated the Golden Eagles 3-1 in Cincinnati.
Xavier came out of the gates aggressively recording four shots in the first ten minutes.
In the 30th minute, senior forward Sarah Owusu was able to find the back of the net with a header, making that her second goal of the season.
Marquette’s offense struggled to found any ground in the first half, collecting just a pair of shots, both on goal in the half.
