If we’re being polite and realistic, we can say that it was hard to make any definitive statements about what it meant that Marquette men’s soccer started off the year with five straight wins. All due respect to the opponents lining up on the other side of the field, but none of them were particularly expected to do anything amazing or impressive this season, so it becomes hard to say that Marquette did anything amazing by beating them. It’s good to be 5-0-0, but that’s about it.
That brings us to Monday night against Wisconsin at Valley Fields, and well, I think we can safely say that the Golden Eagles did something impressive, perhaps two things, depending on how you want to count.
