Marquette Women's Lacrosse Falls In 2016 Season Opener

Well, that's what happens sometimes when you play a ranked team.

Marquette struck first down in Louisville on Saturday afternoon, but the #16 ranked Cardinals' offense was too much for MU to handle. The Golden Eagles eventually lost their 2016 season opener to Louisville by a final score of 16-4. It's a bit of a historic landmark for Marquette, as this marked the 15th straight loss to a ranked team in program history, matched against zero wins.

Hayley Baas began the 2016 season by advancing her program record for career goals as she beat UL goalie Brittany Read at the 27:11 mark of the first half with a free position strike.
