Golden Eagles Return Home To Host DePaul Thursday

By: Communications

The Marquette University women's soccer team (4-2-0, 2-2-0 BIG EAST) dropped a 3-0 decision at Creighton (1-4-0, 1-3-1 BIG EAST) on Sunday afternoon in BIG EAST Conference action.

Marquette's offensive attack collected just five total shots, including one on goal, and was shutout for the second time this season. Netminder Lauren Schill finished with a season-high six saves on the day.

"We ran into a buzz saw today," head coach Frank Pelaez said. "Every opportunity we compete in BIG EAST play is a chance to learn and get better. I am proud of the way our team fought today and we will re-group and get ready for the next match."

The Golden Eagles fell behind 1-0 at the 11:15 mark when a shot from inside the box by Creighton's Skylar Heinrich deflected off Schill and snuck inside the near post.

Early in the second half the Bluejays moved ahead 2-0 after converting on a penalty kick in the 49^th minute. After drawing a MU foul in the box, CU's Aida Kardovic placed a perfectly placed shot into the upper left corner of the net.

Creighton would add one more at the 63:18 mark to conclude the day's scoring.

UP NEXT: Marquette opens a three-match homestand on Thursday, March 28 when the team hosts DePaul at 6 p.m. CT at Valley Fields.
