The Marquette women’s lacrosse team entered Saturday’s contest against the Cincinnati Bearcats looking for its first season-opener win in program history.
Behind a balanced scoring attack, the Golden Eagles achieved a first as they defeated the Bearcats by a score of 16-13 at Valley Fields.
“I feel really good. I’m glad we came out with the win,” head coach Meredith Black said. “It wasn’t easy, not that we expected it to be, but I think our team fought hard and we had a lot of ups and downs which is typical in a first game, but I’m proud of our team for being able to just overcome.
