After last Saturday’s loss at home against Cleveland State, Marquette appeared to be in trouble heading into BIG EAST play. That changed Saturday with the Golden Eagles’ a crucial 16-13 win against the Michigan Wolverines at Valley Fields on Saturday.
Michigan scored the first goal, but Marquette picked up momentum with five first-quarter goals. That success came from Jared Hershman at the faceoff X. The junior went 22 for 27 at the X, setting a new Marquette single-game record for faceoff wins. He also set the single-game record with 21 ground balls.
“(Hershman) won us the game,” Marquette head coach Joe Amplo said.
