Darian Powell became the 11th woman in Marquette soccer history to score 20 goals in a career as the Golden Eagles beat Drake 3-0 on Friday night. With the win, Marquette is now 2-1-0 on the season, while Drake falls to 1-2-0.
Let’s go ahead and address the Powell issue first. Darian Powell scored her 19th career goal in the 24th minute after Carrie Madden headed the Eli Beard long ball back across the net to an unmarked Powell. Her 20th career goal came in the 54th minute as once again Madden made a play to free the ball up and send it across the gaping net and away from the Drake keeper for Powell to send it home.
