CASA GRANDE, Ariz. – Playing in below freezing temperatures and with just 30 seconds left in the first overtime period of a scoreless match, Marquette drove down Akron’s left-wing on a clever back-heel and whipped in a dangerous cross. Grande Sports Academy graduate Coco Navarro ran to the spot, extended his legs and deflected the ball into the back of the net for Marquette’s first-ever NCAA tournament victory.
