Men’s soccer forward Diego Nunez appeared to miss his chance to break the team’s 0-0 tie with Loyola Chicago Saturday afternoon, heading the ball a couple feet away from the net offside in the second half.
The fifth-year senior then got a chance to redeem himself in the 71st minute, chipping a shot into the left corner to secure Marquette’s 1-0 exhibition victory over Loyola Chicago.
“They made a mistake, and he was the farthest person,” head coach Louis Bennett said.
As a Loyola defender fell, Nunez had the opening he needed. With the goalkeeper charging the ball, Núñez found the net.
