WSOC Defeats Pirates 3-1 on Senior Night

The Golden Eagles’ offense struck first and maintained control throughout, sending their seven-member senior class off with a decisive home victory.

Senior forward Jocelyn Leigh opened the scoring in the 43rd minute, finishing a cross from Coco Dorfman with an assist also credited to Josie Bieda, giving Marquette a 1-0 advantage heading into halftime.

In the second half, the Golden Eagles extended their lead when Megan Murray found the back of the net in the 71st minute to make it 2-0. Seton Hall responded in the 80th minute with a goal to cut the lead in half, but Marquette quickly answered. Senior Aislinn Boyle sealed the match in the 87th minute off a setup from Murray to secure the 3-1 victory.

Marquette controlled possession throughout the match, outshooting the Pirates 17-5, including 8-1 in shots on goal. The Golden Eagles also earned eight corner kicks compared to Seton Hall’s one.
