MILWAUKEE – Junior Kylie Sprecher's right-footed blast in the 108th minute propelled the Marquette University women's soccer team to its first victory of the season over Michigan, 1-0, on Sunday afternoon at Valley Fields.
Sprecher played 49 minutes off the bench for the Golden Eagles (1-3) in their home opener and her goal came on her lone shot of the match from the top of the 18-yard box.

In a quiet first half of play, Henry recorded four saves as Michigan outshot Marquette, 11-4.
The Golden Eagles return to action at Minnesota on Thursday, Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. CT.
