Marquette travels to South Field in St. Paul to open the 2025 season against St. Thomas on Wednesday, August 12th at 4:00 PM EDT, with both programs carrying identical 0-0 records into the opener.
There's something pure about a season's first whistle — no film to study, no tendencies to exploit, just two rosters eager to prove what they've built during the long offseason. Every touch in the opening 20 minutes will reveal which side is sharper, which has the edge in fitness and preparation, and which is ready to impose its style from the jump.
For Marquette, the road opener is a chance to set a standard away from home early. For St. Thomas, South Field offers the advantage of familiar turf and a home crowd ready to usher in a new chapter. Two teams with everything to gain and nothing to lose — that's appointment viewing.
