Relative to Thursday’s opener against Colorado State, it’s hard to argue that Marquette women’s soccer’s defense didn’t do its job on Sunday afternoon in Indiana. The Golden Eagles held Ball State to just six shots, three in each half. Instead of the 10 saves that Maddy Henry made to keep MU within shouting distance, she was required to make just two against the Cardinals.
Yet, Sam Kambol took advantage of a ball bouncing up and off of Bri Jaeger’s head and flicked a shot up and over Henry as she charged to make a play to her left in the 72nd minute of a scoreless game.
