WSOC Hosts Seton Hall Thursday at 7 p.m. CT

The Marquette University women's soccer team (5-5-3, 2-1-1 BIG EAST) continues BIG EAST Conference play this week when the squad hosts Seton Hall (5-5-2, 1-2-1 BIG EAST) on Thursday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. CT from Valley Fields.

Following Thursday's action, the Golden Eagles will enjoy a rare weekend off, the team's first bye in league action.

Easter, Block Earn Weekly Honors

Marquette seniors Mikki Easter and Hailey Block both earned BIG EAST Conference accolades on Monday after leading MU to a 3-1 win at Creighton (Sept. 28) and a 0-0 draw at UConn (Oct. 1).

Easter was named BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week after combining to make 14 saves in the two outings, matching a personal best (Aug. 24 vs. Denver) with eight stops against Creighton. She followed that up with her fourth shutout of the campaign at UConn.

Block scored a pair of goals in the victory at Creighton, her first scores of the campaign. She opened the scoring just two minutes into the match and provided a two-goal advantage prior to the intermission.

Pair of Freshman Net Goals

Marquette picked up a win and a tie in a pair of home outings to conclude non-league play, thanks to goals from two members of its freshman class.

Taylor Schad was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll after a goal against WMU and an assist versus St. Thomas. She also drew the foul that led to Isa Cook's PK game winner against the Broncos.

Emily Fix headed home her first-career goal in the 1-1 draw with St. Thomas.

Seven different players have now scored for Marquette in 2023, but only three (Bieda, Schad and Block) have netted more than one.

Bieda Nets Goal, Ends Streak

Forward Josie Bieda netted the game-winning goal in a 1-0 decision at Milwaukee on Sept. 7, snapping the Panthers' 19-match winning streak (18-0-1) at Engelmann Stadium.

The goal was Bieda's first of the season and first since Sept. 2, 2022 against UIC.
Cook, Block Claim Honors

Marquette seniors Isa Cook and Hailey Block were both named to the all-tournament team of the Milwaukee Challenge Cup after outings against Denver and Minnesota.

Cline Nets Winner At Colorado

Junior defender Caroline Cline touched home her second-career goal on Aug. 20 at Colorado, giving MU just enough to earn the 1-0 victory.

Cline found herself alone at the back post in the 35th minute on a corner from Mia Heartle and Kate Gibson's quick touch at the near post rolled right to Cline's feet.

She added her first assist of the season at Creighton (Sept. 28) and now has three points on the year.

MU Continues BIG EAST Play

Marquette has controlled the all-time series with Seton Hall, but the Pirates were victorious in the most recent outing.

SHU's 1-0 win on Oct. 6, 2022 snapped a five-matching winning streak by the Golden Eagles in the series and was just the second victory in 12 meetings.
