Men’s soccer falls to Xavier 1-0 in third consecutive loss

Marquette men’s soccer hosted Xavier (6-3-2, 3-1 Big East), looking to snap their two-game losing skid at Valley Fields.

The Golden Eagles scored their first goal in five halves’ time, but it wasn’t enough as the Musketeers scored a last-minute goal to seal the 2-1 win for Xavier.

Marquette (7-4-1, 1-3 Big East) has dropped three straight home games, despite winning six consecutive matches at Valley Fields to start the season.

A Not-So-Jolly finish

Xavier started the second half with momentum, capitalizing off of a Marquette foul in the box that led to sophomore forward Guilherme Vivaldini shooting a penalty kick.
