Marquette women’s soccer came into Sunday’s game at Ball State against a team returning four of its top five leading scorers from 2018, creating a challenge for Marquette’s defense.
Marquette’s back line persevered through the test until the 72nd minute, when the squad gave up a goal en route to a 1-0 loss to the Cardinals.
Ball State senior forward Sam Kambol broke the tie with her first goal of the season and 13th career goal.
The Golden Eagle’s continued to trail the Cardinals despite an 11-6 advantage of shots.
Prior to Kambol’s goal, neither team could capitalize on opportunities offensively.
