Marquette picks up 100th BIG EAST win over Villanova, 3-1
10/20/2019 3:50:00 PM | Women's Soccer
Alyssa Bombacino notched her second hat trick in the last week
MILWAUKEE – Alyssa Bombacino posted her second hat trick in as many matches and the Marquette University women's soccer team defeated Villanova, 3-1, on Sunday afternoon at Valley Fields for its 100th BIG EAST Conference win in program history.
Bombacino scored twice in the first half to give the Golden Eagles (6-8-1, 3-2-1 BIG EAST) a 2-0 lead at the break and scored her third of the day in the 65th minute to put MU back up a pair on the Wildcats.
Villanova (7-5-3, 3-2-1 BIG EAST) received a 57th minute score from Sam Rosette to pull within one and nearly tied the match in the 63rd minute. MU goalkeeper Maddy Henry denied a penalty kick from VU's Kristin Barbour and added another save on an ensuing shot after a second shot attempt by the Wildcats hit the crossbar.
MU improves to 9-2 all-time against Villanova and picks up its first win since 2016. The Golden Eagles move into a four-way tie for fourth place in the BIG EAST standings with 10 points following the win.
Henry notched nine saves for Marquette, which was out-shot 19-14 by Villanova. VU also attempted all nine of the game's corner kicks.
The Golden Eagles wore pink jerseys in support of the fight against cancer and raised money for the BIG EAST's initiative with the HEADstrong Foundation.
Marquette returns to action at Valley Fields on Thursday, Oct. 24 against Xavier at 7 p.m. MU will honor its four-player senior class of Maddy Henry, Emily Hess, Bri Jaeger and Natalie Yass in a pregame ceremony.
