Marquette women’s soccer was on the hunt for two things in its Thursday night matchup at Providence. The first, a spot in the Big East Tournament for the first time since 2017. The second, its first win on Chapey Field since 2016.
However, the Friars (8-2-3, 3-0-3 Big East) made sure the Golden Eagles (5-7-3, 2-3-1 Big East) achieved neither, defeating them 1-0.
With the loss, Marquette stays tied for sixth place with St. John’s, who is facing Butler tonight. On the other hand, Providence remains unbeaten in conference play while tied for second place.
