Marquette women’s soccer entered Thursday night’s matchup with No. 24 Xavier looking to secure a spot in the Big East Tournament for the first time since 2017.
Instead, a 1-1 draw to the Musketeers and other results across the conference eliminated the Golden Eagles from postseason plat.
“We had a game plan and they executed it perfectly,” Marquette head coach Frank Pelaez said. “We were going to try to disrupt everything they did and that’s exactly what we did. I’m really proud of the girls for believing in what we’re trying to do. Everyone left everything they could out there.
