My big question for Marquette Golden Eagles men’s soccer heading into the 2018 season was “Can they find 12 points against Big East opponents to find a way into the conference tournament this year?” That question loomed large after MU had dropped three straight matches after a 2-0-0 start.
WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, MEAN GENE. After Saturday night, Marquette needs just nine points from their final eight matches, as the Golden Eagles popped in three goals to beat #13 Villanova Wildcats to open conference play. Marquette is now 3-3-0 on the season, 1-0-0 in Big East play, which has them in a five-way tie for first place with three points.
