Marquette shut out Western Michigan, 2-0, Thursday night at Valley Fields with some familiar ingredients.
Early scoring plus another elite defensive performance from the backline mixed up to be the correct recipe for victory in the Golden Eagles’ non-conference finale.
“I’m ecstatic,” Marquette head coach Frank Pelaez said. “After being on the road it’s always a blessing to be here at Valley Fields. The girls feel it, there’s an energy in the locker room and they can’t wait to get outside.
“Credit to Western Michigan. Those kids are just tough, they’ve never stopped. They had us pinned down a couple of times but I think we’re just a little bit better at the finishing part.
