Two goals in the first 25 minutes didn’t mean anything for Marquette on Sunday afternoon as they ended up taking a 3-2 loss in overtime to Creighton in the Big East opener for both teams.
It’s the third straight match where the Golden Eagles took a 2-0 lead in the very early going. It’s also the third straight match where Marquette ended up handing that 2-0 lead back to their opponent, as the Jays knotted the match up in the 79th minute. The first two times this happened, Marquette scored a very late goal to steal a victory away.
