When Sydney Watson scored to make it 4-1 UConn just over seven minutes in to the game on Saturday at Valley Fields, things were not looking super great for YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles, especially since the lone goal to that point was a shorthanded strike.
And yet.
Marquette answered with four straight goals of their own to take a 5-4 lead, and it was on from there. The two teams played it mostly close all the rest of the way, with Connecticut taking an 8-6 lead at halftime operating as the largest margin either way.
