MSOC Travels to No. 24 Georgetown

MILWAUKEE — The Marquette University men's soccer team (4-8-4, 0-4-4 BIG EAST) winds down the 2022 campaign this week as it gets set for a pair of BIG EAST matches. The Golden Eagles first travel east to Washington D.C. this Saturday to face the #24 Georgetown Hoyas (8-4-3, 6-1-1 BIG EAST) on Oct. 29 at 12 p.m. (CT), before returning home to Valley Fields next week to host the St. John's Red Storm (4-7-4, 2-3-3 BIG EAST) on Wednesday, Nov. 2, at 7 p.m.

The Hoyas currently sit atop the BIG EAST standings and rank No. 24 in the most recent coaches poll. Georgetown has been unbeaten since Sept. 20, rattling off seven wins and a draw since that point. The Hoyas are led offensively this season by junior forward Marlon Tabora, who has 16 points on five goals and six assists this season.

The Red Storm enter the final week of league play eighth in the league standings with nine points, posting a 2-3-3 record against BIG EAST opponents. Redshirt junior midfielder/defender Antek Sienkiel has been the squad's top scorer with seven goals to go along with two assists this season.
