I have been waiting SIX YEARS for this match.
SIX. LONG. YEARS.
On November 17th, 2012, Marquette women’s soccer was in Provo to tangle with BYU in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. The Golden Eagles had won eight straight matches at that point and were unbeaten in their previous 16 contests. During that streak, they had earned 12 shutouts. For the season, they had allowed just 13 goals in 22 matches, including only three against Big East foes.
45 minutes gone: BYU had the advantage in shots, 12-5, but it was scoreless.
