Marquette Grinds Out 2-1 Soccer Win In Wisconsin
 EAGLE RIVER, Wis.---The Marquette Redmen traveled to Eagle River, Wisconsin to take on Northland Pines high school on Saturday for a varsity boys soccer match. Marquette won the match 2-1. Northland Pines was the first to strike when a defensive clearing attempt from Marquette bounced off the ref to Northland’s Trevor Romatoski who flipped the ball to Alex Sterhagen on a breakaway and score. Marquette freshman Max Dawson tied the game off a left footed shot from about 40’ out. The assist came from senior Julian Greason. In the second half, senior Trevor Salmon was able to find the net off a long assist from senior defender Cross Lakenen for the game winner. Sophomore Harrison Anthos faced two shots in each half playing goaltender. “We came out a little slow and had a really unlucky bounce off the ref to go down in the first 10-15 but once we settled in and started marking defensively we played a much better game,” Marquette Coach Dan Menze said. “Northland Pines defended really well and they were going hard to the ball. In the end we had two amazing shots from Max and Trevor, both with their opposite foot to get the win." "The team defended great as a unit and really didn't give up too many shots. It was some fun soccer to watch, really nice series of combination passing from both teams.” Marquette improves to 9-5-1 on the season and host Sault Ste. Marie on Wednesday (10-02) for Senior night.
