The Golden Eagles knew exactly who to turn to Friday night.
Down a goal with ten minutes to go in their home opener, it seemed as though sophomore midfielder Luka Prpa was the only option.
It was Prpa’s header in the 80th minute that helped Marquette earn a draw against a pesky University of Illinois-Chicago side, as the game finished 2-2 after two periods of extra time. The goal was Prpa’s first points of the season.
Head coach Louis Bennett compared the match to a boxing bout with two fighters going round for round with each other.
