Women's Soccer Notes - 8.26 Update
Last Night In #BIGEASTwsoc
League teams posted a 2-2 mark on Thursday highlighted by Marquette claiming a 2-1 win at Illinois State and Georgetown cruising past Delaware, 4-0, off of Grace Damaska’s natural hat trick. Damaska became the second Hoya in just three games to score a trio of goals, and the third BIG EAST player so far this year to notch a hat trick. Darian Powell provided the go-ahead score for the Golden Eagles, connecting on a corner kick feed from Cali Pyzdrowski. Providence and DePaul suffered narrow setbacks, with the Friars dropping a heartbreaker at Northeastern with eight seconds left in double-overtime, 2-1. The Blue Demons carried a 1-0 lead over No. 25 Northwestern until the 78
th minute, as the Huskies scored two decisive goals in just over a seven-minute span to thwart DePaul’s upset bid. For the full box scores and links to recaps, click

The Weekend Ahead
Nine of 10 BIG EAST teams will take the pitch at least once this weekend, with Seton Hall returning to action on Monday against Quinnipiac. Of the 13 contests scheduled between Friday and Sunday, two are against squads coming off 2015 NCAA Tournament appearances. DePaul will face its second straight NCAA qualifier when the Blue Demons look to bounce back against a William & Mary team which advanced to the second round of last year’s NCAAs. Villanova will also face an NCAA second-round squad when it travels to Princeton on Sunday for a tilt which is airing on ESPNU at 7 p.m. (ET). RV/- St. John’s, Xavier, Butler and Creighton will look to stay unbeaten, with the Red Storm (at Towson), Musketeers (at Ball State) and Bluejays (at Nebraska-Omaha) all hitting the road. Butler will look to stay blemish-free at home against Indiana on Friday. Other notable matchups include Marquette against Michigan and Providence at Maine, both on Sunday.
