The Marquette Golden Eagles beat the Xavier Musketeers 3-0 on Sunday afternoon at Valley Fields. They advance to the semifinals of the Big East tournament and will play #1 seeded Georgetown in D.C. on Thursday.
But wow... what a fun game to watch!
The Golden Eagle offense was on fire with a 6-2 shots on goal advantage over the Musketeers. At no point in the match did I think Marquette was in trouble of surrendering a goal. Everything was clicking for them as their offensive leaders ran all over the Xavier defense. All-Big East First Team honoree Carrie Madden continued her run of good form with assists on each of MU’s first two goals in the game.
