WSOC Wins 1-0 at Milwaukee, Now 3-0 in 2025
8/21/2025 10:39:00 PM | Women's Soccer
Golden Eagles host No. 21 Wisconsin Sunday at 6 p.m. CT
The Marquette University women's soccer team (3-0, 0-0 BIG EAST) earned its second road win of the campaign Thursday night, a 1-0 decision at Milwaukee (1-2-0, 0-0-0 Horizon) in non-conference action.
Â
The Golden Eagles are now 3-0 to begin a season for the first time since the 2020-21 Spring Covid campaign. The last time Marquette began the year 4-0 was in 2012.
Â
One day after her birthday, senior Molly Keiper netted her first-career goal and a score that proved to be the match winner. Milwaukee netminder Lilly Hanke was issued a red card in the 21st minute and Keiper's 19-yard strike after the foul was buried into the side of the net inside the left post.
Â
Marquette, despite being up a player for the final 70 minutes of action, was forced to consistently defend against the Panther attack following intermission and goalkeeper Hailey Wade made four second-half saves to post her third-straight shutout of the season and fourth of her career.
Â
"Sometimes it's better two win ugly than lose pretty," head coach Chris Allen said. "I love that about our team, that we are able to be resilient and find a way to win in a very difficult environment against a NCAA quality opponent."
Â
UP NEXT: The Golden Eagles host No. 21 Wisconsin at 6 p.m. CT on Sunday, August 24.
