Marquette gives up early second half goals, falls to Butler 2-1

Senior night went south for Marquette Saturday at Valley Fields as No. 21 Butler used two early second-half goals to win 2-1 and seal a BIG EAST regular season title

After an otherwise uneventful first half, the teams headed into the break tied at 0. Butler scored two goals in 121 seconds coming out of the locker room. The first goal came in the 46th minute after Butler’s Lewis Suddick took a free kick and it found the head of defender Joe Moulden, who was able to put it past a diving Noah Heim.

The second goal came 37 seconds later, as Suddick perfectly placed a ball ahead of forward Brandon Guhl, who ran and fired a one-time shot that found the back of the net.
