Normally conceding only one goal in the first 200 minutes of the season would be enough to carry a team.
But for junior goalkeeper Maddy Henry and Marquette women’s soccer, it has resulted in a 0-1-1 start to the season after a 2-0 loss to in-state foe Wisconsin.
“We’re not happy with the result,” Roeders said. “It was very much an incomplete effort all around … There are bits and pieces, but it’s really not coming together for us yet.”
After four first-half saves, Henry could only hold back Wisconsin’s ferocious defense for so long. Clinical passes from Wisconsin forwards Cameron Murtha and Lauren Rice in the 49th minute set up teammate Emily Borgmann, who fired a shot off the right post and into the net from 12 yards out.
