Last weekend did not go so well for Marquette Golden Eagles women’s lacrosse.
The Golden Eagles let a 7-4 lead with 21 minutes to go slip through their fingers last Friday, eventually falling 11-9 to Ohio State. Things got worse on Sunday, as High Point ripped off six goals in a row in the second half to break the game wide open on their way to handing Marquette a 20-9 loss.
Not great.
What makes these two losses particularly troubling is that both are results of Marquette having bad second halves. As discussed in last weekend’s preview, Marquette had been going through a three game run of having monster second halves.
