After snapping a three-game winning streak Thursday to Butler, Marquette women’s soccer turns things around Sunday and defeated the Villanova Wildcats 3-1 at Higgins Soccer Complex.
The win marks the Golden Eagles first win in BIG EAST play on the season.
Following a season-long trend, Marquette came out of the gate aggressive.
In the 16th minute, redshirt sophomore Hailey Block got an opportunity to put Marquette up first but Villanova senior goalkeeper Megan McClay came up with the save.
The Wildcats would get on the board first as deflected ball off a Marquette defender found its way into the back of the net.
