We keep inching closer to the start of the lacrosse season, and today’s milestone is the debut of the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association’s coaches poll.
YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles start the year ranked #18 in the country. They picked up 49 points in the balloting, nestling them neatly between #17 Ohio State’s 52 points and #19 Air Force’s 45 points.
In a “fun” twist, Marquette will play both of the two squads on either side of them in the USILA poll before the calendar flips over to April. Luckily for the Golden Eagles, both of those games will be at home.
