Through two Big East matches, Marquette women’s soccer is 2-0-0 and in first place in the league with six points.
This is good.
Marquette can’t improve their grip on first place over the next few days merely by defeating the opponents in front of them. Both teams that will line up as the opposition have already taken at least one loss, so they can’t be considered as part of either the three-way (teams at 2-0-0) tie or the five way (teams without a loss or a tie) tie in the conference at the moment. All they can do is put more space between them and the two teams they’re facing instead of possibly knocking someone from the ranks of the unbeaten.
