Marquette found themselves unable to sustain offense on Sunday afternoon as #7 Georgetown pulled the “upset” in the Big East tournament, beating the top seeded Golden Eagles, 2-0.
Because of a few draws during the regular season and a late season loss to DePaul, the Hoyas found themselves with the #3 seed in the conference tournament even though they’re rightfully one of the best teams in the country. The Hoyas took advantage of being able to play all three tournament matches at home due to Shaw Field being the predetermined host site for the tournament and carried the day against the Golden Eagles with relative ease to earn the Big East’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
