Five different players find back of net for MU
The Marquette University women's soccer team made their return to Valley Fields on Friday, beating Chicago State 5-0. The win marks the first in the Frank Pelaez era.Â
The Golden Eagles dominated the entire game, outshooting the Cougars 31-5, including a 13-2 shots on goal margin. Sophomore Alex Campana was able to draw first blood off of a free-kick from junior Katrina Wetherell in the 15th minute. Redshirt junior Meredith McGuire was able to double the lead, as she headed in a pass from Rachel Johnson in the 30th minute.Â
Wasting no time in the second-half, senior Kylie Sprecher was able to track down and tap in a long pass from Alexa Maletis, who made her NCAA debut tonight. Aeryn Kennedy, Katie Smith, Lauren Schill, Mae Sinclair, Caitlin Cunningham, Elsi Twombly, Maddie Tabor, Emma Tabor, and Grace Allen all checked in for the first time in their respective collegiate careers tonight as well.Â
But Maletis wasn't done. In the 68th minute she found Maddie Tabor for her first career goal off of a free kick to put MU up by four in the 68th minute. But MU still had one more left. In the closing seconds, first-year player Elsi Twombly put the exclamation mark on the game as she put her team up by five to close out the game.Â
The Golden Eagles resume action at Valley Fields on Sunday, Feb. 7 against Illinois State at 4 p.m. Central time. The match will stream live on GoMarquette.com with Dan Avington on the call and feature live statistics.
