After losing in its BIG EAST opener to UConn April 2, the Marquette women’s lacrosse team entered Saturday looking to get back on track as against the Villanova Wildcats at Valley Fields.
Behind a career-best four goals from first year attacker/midfielder Meg Bireley, the Golden Eagles earned their first BIG EAST win of the season defeating the Wildcats by a score of 19-14.
“(I’m) really proud of my team,” Marquette head coach Meredith Black said. “We’ve been working really hard and the girls are so committed and it was a team effort (today). A lot of people scoring, defense making stops, and I say this to the team but I can’t say this enough, every single person plays such an important role on our team and winning games.
