Marquette gives up two late goals in 2-0 loss to Butler

Junior midfielder Julia O’Neill (11) fights for the ball in Marquette’s 2-0 loss to Butler.

Marquette left its Big East lid-lifter with a 2-1 win against DePaul last Thursday.

But the trend wouldn’t continue for the Golden Eagles (4-5-2), whose Big East undefeated streak ended in a 2-0 loss to the Butler Bulldogs (5-4-2) Sunday afternoon at Valley Fields.

“We knew that they were going to be able to be very good with the ball in the back, and in the first half we let them do what they wanted to do,” Marquette head coach Frank Pelaez said.
