Men’s soccer loses to Creighton despite eight shots on goal

Patrick Seagrist (7) fights for the ball in Marquette's 1-0 loss to Creighton.

Marquette men’s soccer fell to the Creighton Bluejays 1-0 in a rematch of last season’s BIG EAST Tournament semifinal in which Marquette won via penalty kicks.

“It was a great game,” head coach Louis Bennett said. We played well. (Creighton) is one of the top teams in the country, and on a day where we had to play good soccer, we played good soccer. We just didn’t finish.”

Marquette had plenty of opportunities, firing 17 total shots and eight shots on goal.

“We were having chances, and we were snatching at them, but the (Creighton) goalkeeper was making great saves,” Bennett said.
