Marquette Women's Soccer Team Starts 2-0
This past weekend the Marquette Women's Soccer Squad kick started their season off at Valley Fields with back to back wins against Western Michigan (Friday night) and Northwestern (Sunday Night). Marquette won both contests by final scores of 1-0, their 1-0 finish against Northwestern came in overtime.
On opening night at Valley, #12 Marquette came out aggressive and dominated possession for the entire first half. The first and only goal of the night would come in the 25th minute as sophomore Maegan Kelly blasted her 8th career goal past freshman GK Maddie Reed. Last season, Kelly was tied for the team lead with 7 goals along with Rachael Sloan and Kelly led the team in points with 18. Friday night marked Maegan's first career start as a Marquette Golden Eagle.
Coincidentally, Marquette shut down the last years MAC offensive player of the year, Stephanie Skowneski. Last season Skowneski drilled 9 goals and assisted on 4 goals; she tallied 22 points for the season. However, the strong back-line of Ally Miller, Kate Hishmeh, Megan Jaskowiak, and reigning BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year Kerry McBride put the clamps down on Skowneski as she only tallied one shot all night long. The Marquette defense dominated the Broncos as they out-shot them 19-3.
Sunday night, the Northwestern Wildcats took the 80 mile trip up interstate 94 to Milwaukee for their season opener. Both teams battled to a stalemate for 90 minutes and as the clock struck 9:30, overtime commenced at Valley. Making her season debut, senior Rachael Sloan played the ball up to fellow senior Lindsey Page and she fired a laser past Anna Cassell for the match winning goal in the games 94th minute.
Two games into the season, Marquette's record is unblemished, and Senior goalkeeper Natalie Kulla and the defense has put back to back shutouts on their 2011 resume. Kulla and the stingy defense of Marquette has held their opponents scoreless in the first 184 minutes of the season.
Marquette's next match is this Friday, August 26th as the Golden Eagles welcome the (1-0) St. Louis Billikens to Valley Fields at 7:30.
-WMUR Sports will be go on the air at 7:25 with David Tukesbrey on the call.

Men's Basketball: Big East Conference slate announced, Steve Cottingham resigns
2011-2012 Big East Opponents Announced
The Big East announced the home and away slates for the Big East season. Marquette will face Cincinnati, Georgetown, and Villanova in a home-and-home series for the 2011-2012 Big East basketball season. The breakdown of home and away is:
HOME GAMES: Cincinnati, Georgetown, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, St. John’s, Seton Hall, USF, Villanova
ROAD GAMES: Cincinnati, Connecticut, DePaul, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Providence, Syracuse, Villanova, West Virginia
At quick glance, 7 of the 9 games on the road are against NCAA Tournament teams including a trip to defending national champion Connecticut. While the home games include 6 games against NCAA Tournament teams.
The non-conference schedule looks like this as of today:
11/14 Norfolk State (H)
11/19 Winthrop (N)
11/20 or 21 Mississippi/Drake (N)
11/22 Virginia/TCU/Norfolk State/Drexel (N)
12/6 Washington (N)
12/10 UW-Green Bay (H)
12/19 LSU (A)
TBD Vanderbilt (H)
TBD Wisconsin (A)
TBD UW-Milwaukee (H)
TBD Jacksonville (H)
TBD Mount St. Mary's (H)
TBD Northern Colorado (H)
Vanderbilt is expected to be a top 10 team all season long. Wisconsin, at the Kohl Center and Washington, in New York City will be top 25 teams next season contending for conference titles after a few key losses to their starting lineups. Overall an upgrade for the non-conference slate with only one opponent with an RPI of 250 or higher (Norfolk State). Last season the Golden Eagles played six such teams. It will be the second consecutive season Marquette plays against the defending national champion (Duke last season in Kansas City).
Cottingham Resigns
While most people would normally take today to discuss every match-up in detail, the big news out of the athletic department was the resignation of athletic director Steve Cottingham. The athletic department seems to be in great shape financially, with success and continued improvement of each team on campus. The inclusion of a men's and women's lacrosse team was one of Cottingham's biggest steps as athletic director.
The issues that student-athletes had during the last school year brought negative attention to a typically clean athletic department. National and local stations and articles have continued to uncover new details of the situations. The timing of the resignation will lead to speculation of the sole cause of Cottingham's leaving. Cottingham was always approachable and was seen at every sporting event talking to anyone who was willing to talk to him.
In a letter to Father Wild, Cottingham said, “Although recent events involving a few student-athletes have certainly been a disappointment to me, I leave Marquette with positive feelings and confidence in its future.”
