Teammate Zak Wegner hugs senior attacker Josh Coan after one of his two goals Sept. 13 against the Northern Illinois Huskies.
A pair of goals from senior attacker Josh Coan helped Marquette men’s soccer defeat Northern Illinois University 3-1 and move to 2-1-1 in 2019.
Coan scored both goals on free kicks, which he said is a point of emphasis in practices.
“Everyday at training, day before a game we make sure to get some set pieces going,” Coan said. “We make sure the team is sharp on all of that.”
His first goal in the 23rd minute tied the game, and he scored another shot off a set play in the 32nd minute to give Marquette some insurance.
