Women’s soccer finishes strong in final outing

Marquette women’s soccer (6-4, 4-4 BIG EAST) had stellar defense in its final game of the season shutting out the Xavier Musketeers (3-6, 2-4 BIG EAST) 1-0 Thursday afternoon.

Although Xavier amassed more shots, the Golden Eagles proved to be more clinical with their possessions, as the shots on goal margin was tied at 4-4.

Redshirt first-year goalkeeper Mikki Easter held her own in the net throughout the first half, facing only one shot attempt which she stopped in easy fashion. Marquette’s defense only allowed four shot attempts in the first half as well.

In the second half, head coach Frank Palaez put first-year goalkeeper, Lauren Schill, in the net.
