An 11-9 advantage in shots overall and a 10-7 advantage in regulation did Marquette men’s soccer no favors on Friday night as they fell 1-0 to Kentucky in overtime down in Lexington. It was the season opener for the Golden Eagles, so they drop to 0-1-0 on the season.
Andrew McKelvey earns Man Of The Match honors for his game winning goal in the 99th minute. With just 116 seconds left in the overtime period, McKelvey was in the right place in the right time on a corner kick. After a Marquette defender pushed the ball to the far side of the net in the air, Kentucky’s Alex Bumpus made an awkward looking swat at the ball to send it back out towards the front of the net.
