Well, Marquette men’s soccer didn’t have the best Big East opener last Friday, losing to Creighton 2-1 in Omaha.
It also wasn’t the worst performance ever. While they went down 2-0 early in the first half, the Golden Eagles eventually slowed down the Bluejays’ attack long enough to muster up some chances of their own. They were able to halve the lead and they even had a chance to pull level right in the closing moments on a quite advantageously placed free kick.
While that’s a loss to start off Big East play, and Marquette’s first loss of the 2023 season, maybe there’s a lot of lessons to be learned from how the game went.
