Marquette falls to Xavier 2-1 despite Monticello goal

Junior midfielder Maddie Monticello scored her first career goal Thursday against Xavier at Valley Fields.

In a cold fall night at Valley Fields, Marquette’s offensive production and three-game winning streak were frozen, losing 2-1 to Xavier Thursday night.

“Disappointed result with the outcome of the game,” head coach Markus Roeders said. “We didn’t really play a full 90-minute game, and anytime you don’t do that, you can’t expect to win. … “We need to recover and reset quickly for Sunday’s game.”

The Musketeers started the match with a purpose.

In the fifth minute, a Marquette foul in the box led to a Xavier scoring opportunity.
