OH GOD THIS SEASON IS A BATTERING RAM OF DESTRUCTION WAITING TO HAPPEN
The United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) and Nike released the 2016 Division 1 Men's Lacrosse Coaches Poll on Monday. Marquette did not manage to make their way into the top 20, but they are the first team listed under "Also Receiving Votes." Given that MU is immediately followed by Colgate on that list, it would seem that it's not in alphabetical order, so the Golden Eagles are unofficially officially 21st in the country according to the coaches that voted in the poll.
The major item to take notice of in the poll is the heavy representation by both Marquette's fellow Big East members as well as MU's non-conference opponents.
