A LOOK AT THE GOLDEN EAGLES
– Marquette enters its match with South Florida with a 1-1 record on the year … The Golden Eagles are coming off a dominating performance where they defeated Utah Tech, 6-1 on Sunday … Marquette opened 2022 with a 4-2 loss to American Athletic Conference foe, and No. 11-ranked, Tulsa on Aug. 25.
LAST TIME OUT
– South Florida took its show on the road for the first time during the 2022 campaign to face No. 24-ranked North Carolina looking for an early season statement win … Unfortunately, they found themselves on the short end of a hard-fought 1-0 loss to the Tar Heels in the first of two-straight road contests.
– The Tar Heels got on the board by way of a penalty kick in the 12’ when Ahmad Al Quaq was taken down in the box … North Carolina’s Milo Garvanian stepped to the spot and beat South Florida goalkeeper Jackson Weyman to the bottom right corner for the lone score of the match.
– The Bulls had several opportunities to get the equalizer during the match, however, were not able to overcome an 18-8 shot discrepancy, including a 7-3 disadvantage in shots on goal against North Carolina.
– Jackson Weyman’s six saves on the night are two shy of his career-high of eight set against the Bulls on Sept. 6, 2019, when he played for Marquette.
– In addition to Weyman, Luca Hollenstein, Sal Mazzaferro and Takeru Moriyama all played 90 minutes for the second-straight match.
