Marquette men’s soccer entered Saturday night looking to snap its three-game skid and earn its first BIG EAST win of the season.
However, the Villanova Wildcats had other plans as they defeated the Golden Eagles 1-0 at Valley Fields.
“We have to change,” head coach Louis Bennett said. “We have to completely stop teams from getting opportunities. We have to make better use of the chances that we have. I love the BIG EAST, but we have to be much better in what we do.”
In the 28th minute, Villanova first-year forward Balthi Saunders broke through the Marquette defense and put one past redshirt junior goalkeeper Chandler Hallwood to give the Wildcats an early lead.
