Providence spoil Marquette’s homecoming match

In their return to Valley Fields for alumni night, the Marquette men’s soccer team drew with No. 22 Providence 2-2 in an intense overtime matchup Saturday night.

“We knew they were going to be a really good team, you’re not in the top-25 at this time in the year for no reason,” Marquette head coach Louis Bennett said. “Providence is always resilient and a well-coached team so we knew they would be difficult.”

Nothing could separate the two sides in the first half as just one shot on target was recorded which came off the head of Providence forward Davis Smith, whose header hit off the top post before Marquette was able to clear the ball out of the box and avoid danger.
