Last week, Marquette women’s lacrosse earned their first top 25 votes in program history. The Golden Eagles rode their 12-1 record to somewhere less than #25 Johns Hopkins’ 35 points and to the spot as the unofficial #29 team in the country. This past Saturday, Marquette hosted #24 Connecticut, and picked up a 12-9 victory, which was just the second win over a ranked team in program history, and moved to 13-1 on the season.
You would think, in a normal and just universe, UConn would drop out of the top 25 as a result of the loss, and thus, a spot would open for Marquette to move in.
