With everything on the line in a trip to last-place DePaul, Marquette soccer knew what was at stake. All the Golden Eagles had to do to drastically improve their chances of going to the BIG EAST Tournament was get a point or a victory over the lowly Blue Demons. They failed to do so, as DePaul won 3-1.
As a result of the loss and Providence tying St. John’s 0-0 in Rhode Island later in the evening, the Golden Eagles will miss out on the BIG EAST Tournament for the third consecutive year, as they haven’t made an appearance since 2014.
