The Golden Eagles had a chance to clinch a Big East tournament spot slip through their hands on Saturday afternoon. All is not lost, though.
Marquette freshmen led all scorers with four goals on Saturday afternoon in our nation's capital, including a go-ahead goal with just over 11 minutes left, but the Golden Eagles could not hold on and ended up losing to Georgetown, 13-12.
The loss drops MU to 3-3 in Big East play, and 6-10 overall. 3-3 is good enough for a tie with Temple for fourth place in the Big East right now. Thankfully, the Golden Eagles hold the tiebreaker over the Owls, so if the season ended right now, Marquette would be in the conference tournament.
