Marquette Downs Cincinnati To Open The 2022 Season

We saw something that we had never seen before on Saturday, and I didn’t even realize that was the case until after the fact.

Behind three goals and three assists from Shea Garcia, Marquette women’s lacrosse beat Cincinnati, 16-13, and in the process picked up the program’s first ever win in a season opener. MU advances to 1-0 for the first time ever.

I’m not above fact checking this one in the name of laying a program first out for you.

  • 2013: 17-7 loss at Winthrop
  • 2014: 16-2 loss at Johns Hopkins
  • 2015: 8-7 double overtime loss vs #16 Johns Hopkins
  • 2016: 14-6 loss at #15 Louisville
  • 2017: 13-12 loss vs #18 Louisville
  • 2018: 14-7 loss at #22 Johns Hopkins
  • 2020: 18-3 loss at #7 Notre Dame
  • 2021: 20-19 loss at Cincinnati

I don’t know about you, but I don’t think Marquette should start their season with a ranked opponent any more.
