This season, Marquette women’s soccer (4-7-2, 1-2) hadn’t tasted victory away from Valley Fields yet, or won a Big East competition, or scored a conference goal.
Tonight, they got to check all three off their 2024 bucket list.
With shutdown defense and two early goals, the Golden Eagles were able to triumph 2-1 over St. John’s University (5-3-4, 0-2-2).
Marquette grabs its first goal of Big East play
Marquette immediately started using quick touches early in the game to try and open up attacks to capitalize on.
In the ninth minute, sophomore forward Haley Christianson found the bouncing rebound from a corner kick and punted it towards the net from just inside the box.
