Golden Eagles conclude homestand Sunday against Green Bay
The Marquette University women's soccer team (1-2-1) continued its three-match homestand on Thursday evening with a 1-1 draw against UIC (0-2-2) in non-conference action at Valley Fields.
Â
The Golden Eagles fell behind 1-0 in the 23rd minute after dominating possession and scoring opportunities in the first 20 minutes of action. Sophomore forward Kate Gibson had a pair of opportunities, including one that needed a near-post save by the UIC keeper to keep the match scoreless.
Â
MU finally broke through at the 74:39 mark to tie the match at 1-1, courtesy of freshman Josie Bieda's first-career goal. She out-worked a pair of UIC defenders at the top of the box and calmly placed a left-footed shot past the netminder from 10 yards out.
Â
"Overall it wasn't the prettiest game, but in the end it's about getting a result and that's what we did," head coach Frank Pelaez said. "At halftime we talked about running through the ball and Josie did exactly that and it resulted in a goal."
Â
Marquette returns to action on Sunday, Sept. 4 when the team hosts Green Bay at 1 p.m. CT.
