The Big East officially kicked off the fall sports season on Thursday afternoon when they announced the results of the poll of the league’s coaches to determine the preseason awards in women’s soccer. As you might be able to discern from the headline, it’s a bit of a disappointing day for Marquette. The Golden Eagles were picked to finish eighth in the conference this fall. They acquired 42 points in the polling, with 10 points going for a first place vote and one point for a last place vote. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own teams.
