Freshman Josie Bieda’s first collegiate career goal came at a big time for Marquette women’s soccer in more than one way on Thursday night. Her 75th minute marker provided the Golden Eagles with an equalizer and allowed them to walk away from their match with Illinois-Chicago with a 1-1 draw. Marquette is now 1-2-1 on the season.
UIC opened up the scoring in the match in the 23rd minute as Jelena Zbiljic’s cross into the middle was nearly perfectly floated over from the far right side of the pitch to out in front of MU keeper Mikki Easter’s left post.
