It’s been a long time — 13 straight matches — since we saw that happen for the Golden Eagles, so it’s a little weird to experience. If there’s good news to a loss, it’s the second most scheduled loss on the calendar this season, and one that’s always a rough go of things for MU: the road trip to Omaha to visit Creighton.
The loss, combined with a win over Xavier two days later, leaves the Golden Eagles at 16-2 on the season and 7-1 in Big East play. That’s one game behind the 8-0 Bluejays and one game in front of third place St.
