Back on Saturday, Marquette men’s lacrosse picked up a very big and important win over #18 Georgetown. It snapped a three game losing streak for the Golden Eagles, gave them a second quality win on the season, and launched them into first place in the Big East at 1-0.
While Marquette started the season ranked in the Maverik top 20 poll, no one would have been surprised if the voters collectively agreed that the three game losing streak disqualified the Golden Eagles from earning a vote after beating the #18 team.
Instead, the other thing happened, and MU is listed as the final team receiving votes this week.
