After falling to San Diego State University on Tuesday, the Marquette women’s lacrosse team looked to finish the west coast road trip on a high note Sunday afternoon against Oregon.
The Golden Eagles, however, would leave Pape Field dropping their second straight game falling to the Ducks 16-9.
Both teams traded goals early in the first quarter, with Marquette taking a narrow 3-2 lead with 6:58 to go after first-year attacker/midfielder Meg Bireley scored her 12th goal of the season.
Oregon would the respond and take a 4-3 lead into the second quarter following goals from junior attacker Hana Hilcoff and first-year midfielder Gabby Cleveland.
