As it turns out, the lack of electrifying excitement in the Marquette women’s soccer Big East opener was a bad omen.
On Sunday afternoon, the Golden Eagles attempted just two shots, both in the second half, but Butler scored twice, and that’s a 2-0 loss for Marquette. They drop to 4-5-2 on the year and 1-1-0 in Big East action, while Butler remains unbeaten in the league at 1-0-1.
Shots were 5-0 favoring Butler at halftime, but only of of the visitors’ shots was on goal and Mikki Easter made the stop to keep things scoreless.
