Golden Eagles honor 12-member senior class
Milwaukee – The Marquette University women's soccer team (7-7-4, 3-4-3 BIG EAST) wrapped up its 2022 regular season with a 1-1 draw against Xavier (12-2-4, 6-0-3 BIG EAST) Thursday night at Valley Fields in BIG EAST action.
Prior to the match, the Golden Eagles honored their 12-member senior class.
Senior Katrina Wetherell got the Golden Eagles on the board first in the 34th minute off a deflection from the Xavier keeper to net her first goal of the season. The MU lead was short-lived as Grace Blumfeldt found the net for Xavier to tie the match just before the half.
The score remained unchanged for the remainder of the contest. Senior keeper Mikki Easter recorded two second-half saves to keep the Musketeers at bay. Easter finished the match with three saves.
"We had a lot of opportunities in the first half and were able to convert on one of them," head coach Frank Pelaez said. "We had a game plan and the team executed it perfectly. We tried to disrupt everything they did and I am proud of the girls for believing in what we are trying to do and everyone left what they could out there against a nationally ranked team."
With a UConn win and a Butler Draw, the Golden Eagles were eliminated from post-season competition and concluded their season.
