After two games on the road, with the last being a 0-0 tie at Butler, the Marquette Golden Eagles (5-1-1, 2-1-1 BIG EAST) were back at home for a Wednesday matinee matchup against the Xavier Musketeers (3-5-1, 0-3-1 BIG EAST), and Marquette came away with a 2-1 win.
Contrary to what has happened many times this season, the Golden Eagles scored multiple goals in the first half, and that allowed them to hang onto the lead for the full 90 minutes.
At the 12-minute mark, junior forward Lukas Sunesson scored his team-leading fifth goal of the season on an assist from redshirt sophomore defender Alex Mirsberger.
