Marquette Gets Stifled By Butler
As it turns out, the lack of electrifying excitement in the Marquette women’s soccer Big East opener was a bad omen.
On Sunday afternoon, the Golden Eagles attempted just two shots, both in the second half, but Butler scored twice, and that’s a 2-0 loss for Marquette. They drop to 4-5-2 on the year and 1-1-0 in Big East action, while Butler remains unbeaten in the league at 1-0-1.
Shots were 5-0 favoring Butler at halftime, but only of of the visitors’ shots was on goal and Mikki Easter made the stop to keep things scoreless. There wasn’t much she could have done better on BU’s seventh shot of the match, as it was a penalty kick scored by Talia Sommer after this foul by Molly Keiper.
