While freshmen have been the center of attention for Marquette this season, it was one of Villanova’s that made the difference at Valley Fields Saturday night.
Marquette had no answers for 6-foot-4-inch forward Jacob Anderson, who scored two goals on headers to propel the Wildcats to a 2-1 comeback victory.
“It’s a concern that we missed our marks,” Marquette head coach Louis Bennett said. “We identified him as a big target. We couldn’t seem to contain him.”
Patrick Seagrist scored Marquette’s only goal in the 51st minute, firing a shot so hard that it deflected off the falling keeper and into the top of the net.
