CINCINNATI - No. 19 Xavier women's soccer topped Marquette, 7-1, on Saturday evening at Corcoran Field, marking the Musketeers' seventh win in a row and extending their unbeaten streak to a program-record 15 matches. The Musketeers moved to 13-2-2 overall and remained unbeaten in BIG EAST play at 8-0-1 with the win.

Xavier took the lead in the first 15 minutes, after Elin Hansson scored from Peyton Kohls off a free kick from Reese Slater.

The Musketeers held the 1-0 lead into the final minutes of the first half, limiting the Golden Eagles to just two shots in the opening half. In the 39th minute, Regan Dancer found Presley Pennekamp, who scored for a second-straight match to make it a 2-0 Xavier lead.

Less than minute after Pennekamp scored, Dancer dished out another assist, this time to Emma Flick, to make it a 3-0 lead at the half. Xavier held an 11-2 advantage on shots in the first 45 minutes, led by three each for Hansson and Samantha Erbach.

Shortly after the half, Hansson scored her second of the game, off assists from Erbach and Dancer, to push Xavier's lead out to four, and then less than five minutes later Erbach notched a goal, from Hansson and Nastassja Garrett, to make it a 5-0 lead in the 54th minute

Hansson completed her third hat trick of the season just minutes later, after Dancer served the ball to Kohls in the penalty box. Kohls sent the ball to Hansson where she tapped it in for the six-goal lead.

Marquette cut the advantage back to five after scoring on a free kick from just outside the box in the 59th minute. The Musketeers got the goal back and set the final score at 7-1 in the final 10 minutes of the match, after Erbach struck again, off the assist from Sara Parker.

Xavier wraps up the regular season by hosting No. 12 Georgetown on Saturday, Nov. 1, with the BIG EAST regular season championship on the line. The Musketeers and the Hoyas get underway at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN+.
