For one brief, shining moment on Wednesday night, Marquette men’s soccer had stemmed the tide against #19 Creighton. A header on a free kick had leveled the match and with 10 minutes to go in regulation, anything was possible.
Well, for 34 brief, shining moments.
34 seconds after Leo Villa placed his noggin accurately underneath Josh Coan’s free kick from the left side, Creighton’s Sven Koenig slotted home what turned out to be the game winner in the Bluejays’ 2-1 win over the Golden Eagles.
So close to a point, perhaps even three with an ounce of luck, yet so far away.
