Men’s soccer wins BIG EAST opener at Xavier

Marquette men’s soccer notched its first BIG EAST victory of the season after defeating the Xavier Musketeers 2-1 Friday night in Cincinnati.

Friday’s result is MU’s second victory on the road this season. MU has not had two or more road wins in the regular season since 2015.

The Musketeers struck first in the 60th minute on a goal from redshirt freshman Taylor Crull to put Xavier up 1-0.

However, Marquette senior forward Josh Coan tied the game at 1-1 just five minutes later with his fourth goal of the season. Redshirt freshman AJ Franklin had the assist which was the first of his career.
