Marquette used three second half goals, including two with ten men, to beat Northwestern 4-1 in the Golden Eagles’ third straight victory. It’s the first time Marquette has won three straight since 2014.
The Golden Eagles’ ability to posses the ball during long stretches of play ultimately became a key factor throughout the first half. Marquette took the lead in the 18th minute, when Martin Alba received a ball from a throw-in and crossed it to Toby Howell, who headed it in to the back of the net for his second goal in two games.
