This feels like a pivotal four day stretch for Marquette men’s soccer.
They’re only three matches into the season, and we can categorize all three contests in this way:
- Quality performance with self-inflicted problems in a loss against a top ranked team
- Thrashing of an over-matched squad
- Relatively even contest with two fouls that pushed the match in one direction
It’s hard to say that we really know anything about Marquette as a team so far this year with those three results. That brings us to these two contests on Friday and Monday against two power conference opponents that are flawed or troubled in one way or another so far this season.
