It Probably Looked Cool: Marquette 4, Northern Illinois 2
A six goal game? With two from MU in the first 6 minutes? Seems fun, but we’ll never know how it looked….
The Marquette Golden Eagles men's soccer team secured a 4-2 victory over Northern Illinois Huskies on Thursday night in DeKalb, Illinois. This marked the first road game of the season for the Golden Eagles. Freshman Tomiwa Adewumi played a pivotal role in the win, netting two goals within the first six minutes of the match. The lead was short-lived as Luka Vasic equalized for Northern Illinois just before the 25-minute mark.
Despite this, Marquette maintained their lead for the rest of the match, with the score remaining 2-1 at halftime.
Adewumi continued his impressive performance, assisting Mads Konrad Horgoien to score in the 65th minute, ultimately turning into the game-winning goal. Joey Buchanan added another goal for Marquette in the 84th minute, making it 4-2. Cameron Simpson made three crucial saves in goal for MU, leading to the win. Northern Illinois did not broadcast the match, leaving no visual records of the game.
Marquette's impressive winning start to the season continues as they look ahead to their upcoming road game against the #23 ranked Badgers on Monday night at 7pm Central.
