Less than a week after playing host to teams from Missouri and Washington, D.C., Milwaukee Marquette will square off against one of the top boys soccer prep school programs from the Northeastern part of the country today.
The Hilltoppers, the defending WIAA Division 1 state champions and the state's top-ranked team, take on South Kent School (Conn.) at DePaul's Wish Field in Chicago in a non-conference match. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. and the game will be streamed live. (Watch)
Marquette (9-2-0) is ranked 20th in this week's USA Today/National Soccer Coaches Association of America Super 25 poll and No. 1 in Region VI, and also checks in at No. 44 in the Top Drawer Soccer Fab 50 and sixth in the website's Great Lakes Region rankings.
The Hilltoppers split their matches in the annual Jesuit Classic last weekend at Quad Park, falling to Rockhurst (Mo.) 2-0 on Friday before beating D.C. side Gonzaga 5-2. Marquette is 32-3-2 over the past two years, with all three losses to out-of-state teams – St. Louis Chaminade handed the Hilltoppers their lone loss of 2014 with a 2-1 decision last Sept. 5 and beat them 3-1 exactly one year later.
South Kent School (6-0-0) is ranked second in the TDS Prep School Top 10 and has outscored opponents 27-2 this season. The Cardinals also will play Lake Forest Academy (Ill.) on Saturday during their trip to the Midwest.
