Men's Soccer 2014

[marquette]

We have had a rough stretch so far. I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with the team. We begin a 4 game home stand tomorrow (Gonzaga, Oregon State, Drake, UW-Milwaukee). With any luck we go 4-0, although you never can tell. Fingers crossed that we can come into conference play at 5-2.

More concerned about the Marquette women's team than the mens. The Men lost to the #1 team and a team that is one of the most storied in College Soccer at their place and they're now ranked in the top 15. The women lost to 2 unranked teams and a team that was top 25 but also lost some games so also dropped out of the polls with Marquette.

Right you are. I don't follow the women's team as closely as the men's, but they are definitely under-performing as well. I hope both can recover. The men still have a pretty stiff test in UW-Milwaukee, which is the only school I'm seriously concerned about on our remaining non-con. We have some names yet on the schedule, but they are names we should beat.

Fingers crossed. Good luck to your Hoyas as well!
