MILWAUKEE, Wis. - The Boston University women’s soccer team dropped a 3-0 outcome with Marquette on Sunday afternoon at Valley Fields.
The Terriers (0-3-1) return home to Boston for a game at Northeastern on Thursday where they look to tally their first win of the season while Marquette (2-2-0) earned its first home-win of the year in the second game of a five-game home stand.
The Golden Eagles outshot BU 16-9 and were awarded eight additional corners (10-2) throughout the match.
Alyssa Parisi started the game in net and made three saves while Bridget Conway relieved her with just shy of 23 minutes to play and made one stop. Amanda Engel was able to save both shots that went her way.
In the 20th minute, Marquette capitalized on a ball that was cleared to the center of the BU box, which MU’s Liz Bartels was able to shoot into the top right corner of the net to take a 1-0 lead and the eventual win.
During the second half, the Golden Eagles put together a well-developed play that began with a tackle at the midfield line and ended with a shot to Parisi’s far side in the 56th minute.
The Terriers put together their best offensive effort in the 82nd minute when Rachel Blauner sent a long pass up to a wide-open McKenna Doyle, who stayed onside to receive it. She sent a cross to the center of the box but Jenna Fisher was a step too slow and failed to meet it, keeping the score at 2-0, Marquette.
The Golden Eagles sealed their fate with a goal in the 85th minute to make it a 3-0 loss for Boston University.
