For the second straight season, Marquette women’s soccer will be watching the BIG EAST Championship from home after falling 4-0 to DePaul Friday afternoon.
Marquette’s first-half offensive struggles continued in the inclement weather.
Both teams struggled in the first 15 minutes to get a shot.
In the 22nd minute, junior forward Morgan Turner had a one-on-one opportunity against Marquette senior defender Emily Hess. Turner fired center from the top of the 18-yard mark and tipped it off the hands of Marquette senior goalkeeper Maddy Henry and into the back of the net.
Ten minutes later, Marquette freshman defender Josie Kelderman picked up a foul in the box, leading to a DePaul penalty kick by Avery Hay, which got past Henry.
