Say it with me: Your first place Marquette Golden Eagles.
Marquette forced a shot clock violation with eight seconds left to preserve a 9-8 win over Georgetown on Saturday afternoon at Valley Fields. It was the Big East opener for both squads, and at the end of the day, YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles sit alone in first place in the conference at 1-0 and 6-1 overall on the season.
MU led the game 9-6 less than three minutes into the fourth quarter after Ryan McNamara scored his fourth and then his career best fifth goal of the game to open the final period.
