Marquette‘s defense held Georgetown to just two goals in the final 37 minutes of Saturday’s game, but unfortunately one of those goals came during overtime, giving the Hoyas the 9-8 win over MU. The Golden Eagles are now 9-7 on the season overall and 5-3 in Big East play, and thus still somehow short of clinching a conference tournament berth.
MU actually had possession first at the start of overtime thanks to Grace Gabriel’s game-high fifth draw control of the game. It seemed that the Golden Eagles were intent on being careful with the ball and using as much of the 90 second shot clock as they needed to advance the ball within shooting range of the net.
