The NCAA has announced the 64 team field for the 2016 women’s soccer national championship tournament, and YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles are one of the 64 teams!
Marquette will hit the road for their opening round match, but it won’t be a very long trip. They’ll be headed a little bit west to face the University of Wisconsin-Madison Badgers. This will be the first competitive match between Marquette and Wisconsin since the 2010 NCAA tournament, when the two teams went to a 2-2 draw, but Marquette advanced on penalty kicks. It will be the fourth time that the Golden Eagles and the Badgers have squared off in the NCAA tournament, but the first time that the match will be played in Madison as all three previous encounters took place in Milwaukee.
