Senior defenseman Alex Mirsberger etched his name into the history book of the Milwaukee Cup Tuesday night, as the Marquette men’s soccer team took down cross-town rival University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 5-2 at Valley Fields.
Tuesday night’s contest marked the 48th all-time meeting between both squads and the first time since 2019.
With the win, Golden Eagles have taken home the cup for the first time since 2014.
“I’ve been a part of this (Milwaukee Cup) for maybe 28 years and winning it is definitely satisfying,” Marquette men’s soccer team Louis Bennett said.
Prior to joining the Golden Eagles in 2005, Bennett was on the other side of the rivalry as the Panther’s head coach from 1996-2005.
