You can easily make the argument that Marquette men’s soccer played well enough to win their Big East opener against Creighton last weekend. Of course, thanks to a well placed volley from Daniel Espeleta in the 86th minute, they took a 1-0 loss instead.
It’s very much a “it’s not what you want” situation, especially given you can argue that MU had the better offensive day. Eight shots on goal against five for the Jays, and seven corners for against just two conceded. But it’s still a 1-0 loss, and still zero points in the Big East table after 90 minutes.
