In case you missed it, Marquette men’s soccer lost 1-0 to Providence last Friday night. I presume you missed watching the match because Providence tucked the broadcast behind their in-house paywall instead of putting the match up on ESPN+ like a normal athletic department, but also perhaps you missed the result, or even the result of the result.
The result of the result? Marquette’s out of the Big East tournament. Two division winners, two wild card entries. Marquette is 0-5-0 with three matches to play.
That’s nine possible points, and with one goal scored in Big East play, I’m not holding out a lot of hope for those nine points. In any case, mathematically, Marquette can’t win the Midwest Division because Creighton has 10 points. Three teams in the East Division have nine points and Marquette has lost to two of them. That’s the tiebreaker squared away, so all Marquette is doing over the next three weekends is playing out the string.
I’m not telling you how to live your life, but I am telling you that 1) the volleyball team is playing on ESPN+ at 6pm Central on Saturday night and 2) the projected temperature in the Valley at kickoff for this thing is 48 degrees and the Valley always runs about five degrees cooler than that.

Marquette is 30-7-3 all time against DePaul. The last eight have gone 5-1-2 for the Golden Eagles, but MU hasn’t won since 2021 after a loss and a pair of draws in the past three seasons.
DePaul hasn’t won a match since September 7th, when they snagged a 2-1 victory over Loyola Chicago. They’ve been shutout four times since then, including last Saturday’s 3-0 loss to a ranked Georgetown squad. However, they have scored six goals in that time, including one in their 1-1 draw with Villanova, and that’s how they’re literally one standings point better than Marquette right now.
Keagan Pace is DePaul’s goals and points leader this season, but he hasn’t played since that Loyola Chicago victory. He had four goals for a total of eight points in DePaul’s first six contests of the season, and no one has been able to outpace him since then. Noeh Hernandez has come the closest with three goals on the season on a team high 44 shots.
Santiago Davila is DePaul’s most active goalkeeper this season with 10 starts and 900 minutes played. He’s the one who went out there against Georgetown last time out, so we’ll presume that DePaul will go with him again here. He’s also their best statistical option at 1.70 goals allowed per 90 minutes and a save percentage of .653. Clayton Brooks and Hayden Vostal are both at two goals allowed or worse and somewhere south of .600 in the save percentage column. In fairness to Vostal, he has just the one match played, a 2-2 draw with Bradley. Brooks has those numbers across three starts this year, which, y’know, yikes.
