MILWAUKEE — Valley Fields’ stadium lights shined brighter than the men’s soccer team when the Huskies fell to Marquette University 3-1.
The chill Milwaukee winds blew east, giving the ball a slight effect. The Huskies took advantage and scored 10 minutes into the match, momentarily silencing the Golden Eagles’ student section behind the east-end goal.
Sophomore forward Nick Markanich opened the scoring with a well-placed ball to the top corner. Junior midfielder Alex Welch found Markenich with a tight through ball, beating the Golden Eagles’ backline.
Markanich scored his first goal of the season.
