It’s fitting that the 2021 Marquette women’s lacrosse season is starting off with a game against Cincinnati.
This is the ninth season of lacrosse in Milwaukee, and Marquette has just two opponents that have appeared on the schedule each and every year, even if that season was shut down by a global pandemic. One of them is Notre Dame, and yes, MU will be squaring off against head coach Meredith Black’s alma mater this year, but that’s next week. The other team is, as you can guess, Cincinnati. Marquette does have eight games played against Georgetown, but that’s thanks to the 2019 Big East tournament giving the Golden Eagles a second crack against the Hoyas that year.
