Marquette women’s soccer team suffered a setback Thursday afternoon, losing on the road to Butler 1-0 for their first loss of the season.
The Bulldogs came out striking as forward Anja Savich and midfielder Alli Leonard put together a combined total of three shots in the first three minutes of play, but all went wide.
Six minutes later, at the 8:12 mark, midfielder Katie Soderstrom attempted the first shot on next net for Butler. Marquette first-year goalkeeper Lauren Schill made the save to keep the game scoreless.
Junior forward Alyssa Bombacino had the Golden Eagles’ first shot in the 25 minute, but Butler’s redshirt junior Stephanie Rodriquez came up with the save.
