Through the first 50 minutes of Marquette’s match against Louisville, the Golden Eagles had to rely on their back line after only mustering three shots. Redshirt freshman Erin Johnston had a good look from 40 yards out, but the Louisville keeper tipped it over the net.
However, a pair of golden opportunities in the second half helped Marquette secure a 2-0 resume-building road win over Louisville Friday at Lynn Stadium.
A week after Markus Roeders described redshirt Abby Hess’ first career goal as “freaking brilliant,” the 22-year head coach saw yet more brilliance as defending midfielder Ryley Bugay scored her first career goal.
