A late comeback fell short for the Marquette men’s soccer team, who suffered its first loss of 2019 Friday 2-1 against the University of South Florida.
The Bulls got on the board first in the 10th minute with a goal from forward Victor Claudel, putting MU in a hole early. USF had a 9-5 shot advantage in the first half. To make matters more difficult, MU played the last 25 minutes with 10 players on the pitch after Josh Hancock was red-carded in the 65th minute.
Marquette redshirt freshman Alex Mirsberger scored his first career goal as a Golden Eagle in the 79th minute to tie the game, ending a 189-minute scoring drought.
