Golden Eagles continue homestand Sept. 1 vs. UIC
The Marquette University women's soccer team (1-2-0) opened its three-match homestand with a 1-0 loss against Milwaukee (1-1-0) Thursday night at Valley Fields in non-conference action.
Â
The matchup was the first between the two programs since 2019, with the Panthers now owning a narrow 11-10-8 record in the all-time series.
Â
"We are improving and heading in the right direction," head coach Frank Pelaez said. "We have a lot of good pieces out there and had some great opportunities against a quality program, we just need to be a little bit more aggressive and finish our chances when we have them."
Â
Senior Elizabeth Bueckers was an early substitution in the match after Elsi Twombly left with an injury and immediately made an impact with a pair of quality chances. She finished with four of the team's six shots on goal.
Â
The Panthers scored the lone goal of the match in the 27th minute, touching home a cross from the left side just in front of the goal.
Â
Marquette returns to action on Thursday, Sept. 1 when the team continues its homestand against UIC at 7 p.m. CT.
