Marquette travels to Georgetown Thursday afternoon
The Marquette University women's soccer team (7-6-2, 3-3-1 BIG EAST) concluded its two-match homestand with a 1-0 win against Villanova (3-8-2, 2-5-0 BIG EAST) Sunday afternoon at Valley Fields.
The Golden Eagles are now sixth in the BIG EAST through Sunday's matches and have three outings remaining on the regular-season schedule. The top-six programs quality for the league tournament.
