The 2016-17 Marquette sports calendar officially gets started on Thursday evening when the men’s and women’s soccer team host their yearly Fan Fest at Valley Fields. The Fan Fest, which will take place on the west end of Valley Fields, will be followed up with an exhibition match between Marquette and Wisconsin, and the men’s team will play an intra-squad scrimmage at halftime of the women’s game. Admission to everything is free, including the Qdoba bar before the start of the MU-UW match.
Marquette and Wisconsin have played an exhibition match against each other in each of the last nine seasons, with MU holding a 3-2-4 advantage in that series.
