Following a 2-8 road record last year, Marquette women’s lacrosse head coach Meredith Black knew that in order for her team to compete with some of the best teams in the country, that record would need to be improved in 2023.
“If we want to be Big East champions, it’s going to be the games away you got to win,” Black said back in February. “We really made that a hyper focus in the fall and the girls totally bought into that.”
The Golden Eagles have done just that and a little more.
Marquette (15-1, 5-0 Big East) improved their road record to a perfect 8-0 Sunday afternoon as it capped off its two-game road trip with a 12-8 win over Villanova (11-5, 3-3) at Villanova Stadium.
