WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The Golden Eagles withstood a 36 minute lightning delay and a 7-1 run by the defending Big East and NCAA champions, but at the end of 60 minutes, it was #2 seed Marquette men's lacrosse that won the 2016 Big East tournament championship, defeating #1 seed Denver, 10-9.
HISTORICAL MOMENT BREAKDOWN:
- It's Marquette's first ever Big East tournament title.
- The win gives Marquette the Big East's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, which will be the first time that the Golden Eagles appear in the national championship tournament.
- It was Marquette's first win against Denver in five tries.
