Four goals from Devon Cowan led the way for the Golden Eagles on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough as Villanova men’s lacrosse prevailed to hand Marquette a 16-14 loss at Valley Fields. MU drops to 0-2 on the season and 0-2 in Big East play.
Marquette led 4-3 early in the second quarter on a strike from freshman Russell Melendez, but what happened next can be viewed as where Villanova won the game. Over the next three and a half minutes, the Wildcats powered in four goals bookended by a pair from Matt Campbell to take a 7-4 lead with 8:02 left in the quarter.
