Marquette men’s soccer took their first loss of Big East play on Friday night, falling 3-1 to a Butler squad that’s receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches top 25. The loss drops the Golden Eagles to 4-5-1 overall this season and a still winless 0-1-1 in league action.
You don’t really think of corner kicks as a big indicator of offensive success all the time. You could probably debate exactly how much of an indicator they are, particularly when part of the genesis of a corner is “the defense knocked it away from you.” Still, for Marquette this season under Louis Bennett, they’re pretty important.
