As they did in game one of the season, the Marquette men’s soccer team managed to secure the 1-0 overtime victory against the Northern Illinois Huskies on Sunday thanks to a goal from junior forward Lukas Sunneson that came off a cross from redshirt sophomore defenseman Alex Mirsberger.
Coming off their season-opening overtime victory against Loyola Chicago on Wednesday after a goal from first-year forward Beto Soto, the Golden Eagles left it to their upperclassmen to get the job done in the Valley Fields dome.
Just a minute after redshirt sophomore forward AJ Franklin had the ball in the net for the Golden Eagles but was ruled offside, Mirsberger made a nice run in the box where he made a cross towards goal that found Sunneson with an open net, and he calmly finished off the Huskies.
