Following a 3-0 loss to UConn Thursday, the Marquette women’s soccer team looked to re-enter the win column Sunday afternoon at Providence.
However, the Friars had other plans as they defeated the Golden Eagles 3-1 at Chapey Fields.
It is the second time this season, that Marquette went winless during a two-game road trip.
Providence began the scoring in the 12th minute, when sophomore forward Meg Hughes shot one from the top of the 18-yard box into the top left corner. Graduate student midfielder Amber Birchwell had the assist.
Two minutes later, Birchwell had an opportunity to find the back of the net herself but pressure from the Golden Eagles defense forced the shot to sail above the crossbar.
