With five matches gone in Big East play, Marquette women’s soccer sits in a four-way tie for sixth place in the conference. That’s not ideal, as only the top six squads qualify for the conference tournament. To make matters worse, two teams — Xavier and Georgetown — are already 10 points up on MU and everyone else in that tie, 16-6. That’s a lot of space to make up, although the good news is that everyone in the tie has an extra match to play. The point of the story is that spots in the top six are starting to narrow down very quickly here.
