Following locking up the No. 2 seed in last year’s Big East tournament, Marquette women’s lacrosse looked to have positioned itself with a chance to make the championship game in hopes of securing its first conference title.
But that opportunity was yanked away from the Golden Eagles, as they were upset by No. 4 seed Georgetown in the semifinals.
It’s a loss that not only left a sour taste in the mouths of each Marquette player but ignited something amongst the entire team.
“It’s a really good sign when a team can’t let that go,” Marquette head coach Meredith Black said.
