Every year, both men and women’s soccer compete against the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. On Monday night, the women ended a 27 game unbeaten streak, beating UWM 1-0.
Sadly, the men could not equal that feat, falling to the Panthers in the 46th Milwaukee Cup, 2-1, at Valley Fields.
Marquette opened the game strong, finding early crosses and maintaining a stranglehold on possession early, but no ball found the back of the net. The Panthers grew into the game and started holding the ball more, and eventually, on a break, found themselves lucky enough to watch a cross deflect off the left post and into the path of Milwaukee striker Sean Holmes, who slotted home from close range in the 29th minute to put the Panthers ahead.
