89 minutes and 12 seconds of scoreless soccer.
One bad second, well, I guess, two bad seconds, and that was that for Marquette women’s soccer on Thursday night. Aliya Diagne booted in a free kick from just outside the 18 years box at the 89:13 mark, Marquette had no chance to push down the field and score an equalizer, and that was that, 1-0 to the visiting Bulldogs.
Here’s the goal:
It is, to be clear, a great goal by Diagne. All credit due to her for putting it in the net in what can be a challenging shooting situation with such limited space.
