Things were going okay, perhaps even well, for Marquette women’s soccer on Thursday evening in Chicago until they weren’t.
Two miscues by Marquette’s defense less than four minutes apart sent the Golden Eagles into the locker room down 2-0, and Illinois-Chicago tacked on an extra insurance goal right after halftime as well. Those were the only goals in the match, all in a 16 minute stretch of elapsed game time, and the Flames handed Marquette a 3-0 loss as a result. MU is now 1-3-1 on the year and has been shutout in three straight contests, while UIC picked up their first win of the season.
