Golden Eagles win MKE Cup

The Golden Eagles beat the UWM Panthers in front of a sellout crowd, getting goals from redshirt freshman Jack Alberts and redshirt junior C. Nortey.

MU blanks Panthers to bring trophy back to Wisconsin Ave. Marquette reclaimed the Milwaukee Cup in dominant fashion Wednesday night in a game that felt far more lopsided than its 2-0 final. Redshirt freshman Jack Albert’s header in the 15th minute and redshirt junior C. Nortey’s far post tap in the 28th minute were enough to defeat Wisconsin-Milwaukee and return the Milwaukee

Cup trophy to Marquette after a year hiatus. Senior goalkeeper Charlie Lyon extended his shutout streak to four games, the 24th blank slate of his career. Lyon needs two more to set the Marquette record for shutouts. The victory against UWM was the 11th win for Marquette in the series history. Marquette head coach Louis Bennett now has a 4-4-1 record against UWM since he joined the Golden Eagles in 2006. “It’ll go in the display cabinet of the MU gym,” Bennett said. “You can come look at it whenever you want.” The ties between the two universities have increased the

tension in the Milwaukee Cup in recent seasons. Bennett spent ten years coaching the Panthers until accepting his current position at Marquette. Away from the pitch, former UWM chancellor John Lovell will be inaugurated as Marquette’s 24th president later this week. Lovell was in attendance for the match, another stop in his inauguration tour. Marquette’s first tally was a solid example of getting the ball into the box to make good things happen. Sophomore midfielder Louis Bennett II, back after sitting out the Drake match, got his free kick from 90 yards away into the heavy traffic. Albert made the most of the opportunity,

heading the ball past the UWM junior keeper Agustin Rey and into the back of the net. Nortey’s goal came on a nifty back-leg shot off an inbox cross by junior Adam Hermsen. Rey didn’t have a chance. “It was really special,” Bennett said of Nortey’s goal. “It’s one of those goals (where you say) ‘that’s a training field goal.’ We actually do practice that.” Nortey had a noticeably strong game for the Golden Eagles, creating numerous chances and exemplifying his top notch speed. “(Nortey’s) put in a lot the last four games,” Bennett continued.

Gonzalez: LIMOs and safety

Legislative VP Zack Wallace says he wants to work on gradebook usage.

Wisconsin’s governor race is getting narrower and narrower, according to the latest Marquette Law Poll. The poll, which is widely considered the standard for Wisconsin election data, shows that Gov. Scott Walker and his Democratic challenger Mary Burke statistically tied at 46 percent of registered voters. Five percent of voters remain undecided. The big news of the poll, however, shows that incumbent Walker gained a lead among likely voters, edging Burke by roughly three points, at 49-to-46 percent. In the last poll, Burke led Walker 48.6-to-46.5 among likely voters. Charles Franklin, director of the poll, said much of the race changes between August and September are due to increased Republican enthusiasm, adding when the previous poll was taken in August, Democrats were more likely to vote than Republicans. The new poll predicts the opposite, giving a predicted advantage to Republicans. “Elections are about both candidate preference and turnout,” Franklin said in a news release. “Changes in either can shift elections.” Between August and September, the number of Republican voters included in the poll shifted by 5 percentage points, outnumbering Democrats 32-to-28 percent. About 38 percent stating they are independent. Of the past 24 polls conducted by Marquette Law, this was the fourth time that Republicans outnumbered Democrats. Franklin said much of the partisan shift is due to a “particular surge” in Republican identification among 18- to 29-year-olds. In terms of enthusiasm, 67 percent of Republicans and 60 percent of Democrats said they are “very enthusiastic” about
