Marquette gets blanked for second straight game after second half letdown

Marquette failed to find the back of the net for the second straight match Tuesday after allowing two second half goals that proved to be the difference in a 2-0 loss to No. 12 Virginia.

The Golden Eagles, now 0-4-1, held their own in the first half. Despite being out-shot seven to four and giving up more corner kicks, the match was tightly contested.

However, the second half proved to be a different story, as the Cavaliers pressed hard to find the go-ahead goal. The first goal came shortly after the restart with a miscommunication between freshman Brendan Skinner and another defenseman.
