Despite an early lead on the road, the Marquette women’s lacrosse team was unable to pull of the victory over Niagara in Lewiston, New York, falling 12-9 to the Purple Eagles Sunday afternoon.
Just 90 seconds into the game senior midfielder Caroline Blandford put one in the back of the net to give Marquette the lead early. Not long after, first-year attack Meg Bireley gets a free position shot to put the Golden Eagles up 2-0.
Two minutes into the second period, Niagara took its first lead of the game when junior attack Lois Garlow scored her fifth goal of the season.
