WSOC Falls 3-0 At Minnesota

The Marquette University women's soccer team (3-3-1) concluded its two-match road swing with a 3-0 loss at Minnesota (4-3-1) on Sunday afternoon in non-conference action.

The loss snapped a run of three matches without a loss for the Golden Eagles, who had claimed a pair of wins and a draw in recent outings.

"Credit to Coach Chastain and her team," head coach Frank Pelaez said. "They are a quality side and I am proud of our team's mental and physical toughness. We have a lot of positives to take away from today's match and look forward to getting back to work."

The Golden Gophers controlled possession throughout the first half and finally moved ahead 1-0 on a penalty kick in the 32^nd minute. Marquette's best chance came a short time later on a header by Kate Gibson that just missed sneaking inside the left post. Minnesota quickly reset its attack from the goal kick and was able to move ahead 2-0 in the 34^th minute with a long-distance strike from the left side of the box.

Minnesota capped the scoring with a late header off a corner kick. Senior Alex Campana led the Golden Eagles with a pair of shots on goal.

Minneapolis native Chloe Olson made her third-straight start in net for Marquette and finished with four saves.

Marquette returns to action on Thursday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. CT when the team hosts Western Michigan at Valley Fields in the non-conference finale.
