Marquette suffers setback against Xavier

Following a 2-2 draw to No. 24 Providence Saturday night, the Marquette men’s soccer team sought for its second BIG EAST win of the season Wednesday night at Valley Fields hosting the winless Xavier Musketeers.

However, the Musketeers had other aspirations as they defeated the Golden Eagles 2-1 handing Marquette its second conference loss of the season.

“We didn’t start the game how we wanted to start the game,” Marquette head coach Louis Bennett said. “A lot of the time we were frivolous with the ball and we didn’t move the ball in any given direction. When we create opportunities, we have the players to finish them, we just didn’t create many opportunities.
