Last weekend’s trip out east for Marquette women’s soccer was stupid.
First, they let in a goal in the 82nd minute to lose 1-0 to Providence in a match that would have been awfully helpful to come away with a draw in, and then they went to Villanova and things got stupider. In a match against one of the teams below them in the Big East table, Marquette needed to equalize the contest in the 52nd minute and then hold on for dear life for the remainder to get a draw with Villanova. In the process of earning that draw, Isabella Cook was shown a straight red card for fighting in the 53rd minute, so she won’t be available for the Golden Eagles on Thursday night by rule.
