WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University women's soccer team played to a 0-0 draw against Marquette on Wednesday night at Shaw Field. With the result, the Hoyas move to 3-3-3 overall and 0-1-1 in BIG EAST play, while the Golden Eagles move to 4-1-6 overall and 0-0-2 in conference play.
Head Coach Dave Nolan
- "Yeah, it was a disappointing result tonight. I didn't feel we really did much in the first half, and then we came out in the second half and switched the light and started to do the things which I wanted them to do, which was to run at them, get the ball behind them, get it out wide, let our wide players cause chaos. Then we had a number of chances, and a little bit unlucky not to get one when we hit the post, and got people into the box, and just didn't quite find that final pass. So we got to get ready now for Villanova on the road on Sunday, and they're a confident team, and they're going to be flying. So our kind of backs to the wall going into Sunday."
