Men’s soccer drops its second home game in a row to Northern Illinois

Marquette men’s soccer started the season 6-0 at home. Now, after their last two home games, the Golden Eagles are 6-2 at Valley Fields.

Marquette hosted Northern Illinois (3-6, 0-2 Missouri Valley) Monday night looking to get back to its winning ways after falling at home to St. John’s Sept. 29.

The Golden Eagles outshot the Huskies 16-5 but could not capitalize on any of their chances, leading Northern Illinois to win 1-0, its first road win of the season.

“Huge missed opportunity,” Marquette head coach Louis Bennett said. “Hugely disappointing. It’s two games now, we had 16 shots, we had 19 shots in our last game and no goals to show for it.
