In the inaugural game of the Milwaukee Challenge Cup, Marquette women’s soccer was facing the Denver Pioneers for the first time in program history.
After an extended weather delay, neither team was able to find the back of the net as the Golden Eagles (1-1-1) drew with the Pioneers (0-0-3) Thursday night at Valley Fields.
“We battled hard,” Marquette head coach Frank Pelaez said. “We wanted to protect our home field. That’s a very good team we went up against. The program has done historically well in their league.
