Marquette pulls off upset of No. 1 team in nation on senior night

The Marquette men’s soccer team celebrated more than snapping a two-game losing skid Saturday night at Valley Fields on Senior Night.

For the first time in program history, the Golden Eagles defeated the No. 1 overall team in the country defeating No. 1 Georgetown 1-0.

“They’re the best team in the country, very well coached, well disciplined, really a gold standard in college soccer,” Marquette men’s soccer head coach Louis Bennett said. “I said before the year though that this team could beat anyone in the country and that included Georgetown on our schedule. Thought Chandler (Hallwood) was a big factor for us.
