Officially, Sunday’s soccer match against UConn goes in the book as a 2-1 loss for Marquette women’s soccer. That’s the part that the Big East office is paying attention to when keeping track of the standings, where the Golden Eagles are now 2-2-0.
The losses for head coach Frank Pelaez and his staff.... those might be a little bit bigger.
Keeping in mind that after Sunday afternoon, Pelaez has just three women who have started all 12 matches this year, the Marquette depth chart might have taken a tremendous beating. After Katie Koker tied the match at one each in the 30th minute, Isabella Cook went down and struggled to get back to her feet before the referee blew the whistle for a stoppage.
