Marquette women’s soccer earned its first win over Xavier since 2017 Thursday afternoon, as the Golden Eagles defeated the Musketeers 3-1 win at Valley Fields.
For the first time since Feb. 21, the Golden Eagles played a game at full strength. In each of MU’s last two games against DePaul and Butler, head coach Frank Pelaez was missing several players due to contact tracing protocols.
Marquette’s first-half woes from its last two games did not continue Thursday afternoon.
In the 21st minute, Marquette senior forward Kylie Sprecher got her foot on the ball and got it past Xavier junior goalkeeper Olivia Jenkins for her third goal of the season.
