MILWAUKEE, Wis. – The North Dakota State soccer team fell to Marquette University 2-0 Sunday afternoon in non-conference action at Valley Fields.
Marquette (2-0-0) scored on a corner kick to take the lead in the 40th minute and added a second goal on a counter attack in the 78th minute to hand NDSU (1-1-0) it's first loss of the season. Marquette outshot the Bison 14-5 in the contest.
Morgan Russmann nearly gave the Bison the lead in the 28th minute as her shot from outside the penalty area sailed just over the crossbar.
Early in the second half, Maeva Lichtensteiger fired a shot from the top of the penalty area that was tipped over for a corner. On the ensuing corner, Tyreese Zacher kicked in the ball from Mikayla Carkhuff at the back post, but the goal was immediately waved off for a foul on the other side of the box.
The Bison would have a couple more chances in the next few minutes, including Hannah Arnold with a sliding shot that was partially blocked from close range in the 64th minute. A minute later, Morgan Russmann headed a cross back across goal and just wide.
Hannah Stipp finished with four saves in goal for the Bison. Reese Berge also had a clearance off the line for NDSU.
The Bison will remain on the road in week two of the regular season, heading west and beginning the week in Idaho with a clash against Idaho State in Pocatello, Idaho. The Bison will take on the Bengals at Davis Field with kickoff set for 8 p.m. CT/7 p.m. MT.
