The Marquette women’s soccer team looked to be on the verge of its third lost in its first four games Thursday night at Valley Fields. That was until the 74th minute.
Finding themselves in an early 1-0 deficit with 16 minutes to go, first-year forward Josie Bieda moved through two University of Illinois Chicago defenders before firing a pass from the top of the box that got Flames goalkeeper Lauren Keiser to tie the match at 1-1.
“Gritty performance both ways, I think a credit to them. They came out and tried to disrupt everything we’re trying to do,” head coach Frank Pelaez said.
