MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - Georgetown (12-2-2) continued their impressive run with a commanding 3-0 victory over Marquette (6-5-4) on Saturday in Big East conference action. The Hoyas extended their winning streak to eight matches while delivering Marquette their second consecutive loss.

Natalie Means opened the scoring for Georgetown in the 16th minute, finishing a well-placed assist from Henley Tippins. Means doubled the advantage in the 29th minute with an unassisted effort, and Shay Montgomery sealed the result in the 45th minute just before halftime.

The first half was dominated by Georgetown's precise attacking movements. Mary Cochran tested Marquette's defense early with a shot in the 7th minute that sailed wide. Natalie Means proved particularly dangerous, registering multiple attempts before finding her breakthrough. The Hoyas' pressure resulted in three corner kicks within the opening 20 minutes, while Marquette struggled to establish any meaningful possession in the attacking third.

Georgetown maintained their control after the break, with Henley Tippins forcing a save in the 42nd minute. Marquette's best chance came through Josie Bieda in the 65th minute, but her attempt went wide. The match saw increased physical play in the second half, with both teams collecting yellow cards - Isabel Boodell for Georgetown in the 73rd minute and Adrianna Alberts for Marquette in the 62nd minute.

The statistical dominance of Georgetown was evident throughout the match. The Hoyas outshot Marquette 18-3, putting six attempts on target compared to Marquette's single shot on goal. Despite Georgetown's attacking superiority, Marquette earned seven corner kicks to Georgetown's three, though they struggled to convert these opportunities into meaningful chances.

Natalie Means led all players with five shot attempts, including her two goals. Shay Montgomery's precise finishing and overall presence in midfield helped Georgetown maintain control, while Mary Cochran created several dangerous opportunities with her distribution from midfield. For Marquette, Josie Bieda showed moments of promise in attack, though ultimately couldn't break through Georgetown's organized defense.

Georgetown's tactical approach emphasized quick transitions and possession through the middle third, effectively neutralizing Marquette's attempts to press high. The Hoyas' defensive organization, anchored by Caroline Spengler and Maya Wiese, limited Marquette to rare counterattacking opportunities. The Golden Eagles struggled to adapt to Georgetown's high pressing system, particularly in building play from the back.

This victory further cements Georgetown's position as a conference powerhouse, extending their unbeaten run in Big East play. The Hoyas have now recorded clean sheets in six of their last eight matches, demonstrating their defensive excellence. For Marquette, the result marks their second straight defeat without scoring, highlighting their recent offensive struggles.

Looking ahead, Georgetown returns home to face Villanova on October 22nd, seeking to extend their winning streak to nine matches. Marquette will aim to rebound when they travel to Providence on the same date, looking to end their scoring drought and return to winning ways.

The match officials issued five yellow cards total, including cautions to Molly Keiper and Adrianna Alberts for Marquette, while Georgetown's Isabel Boodell was among those cautioned in what became an increasingly physical contest as Marquette sought to disrupt the Hoyas' rhythm.
