You can’t really ask for much more than what we got from Marquette women’s lacrosse in their opener back on Sunday. Things that happened for the Golden Eagles against San Diego State in their 20-13 victory:
- Shook off a slow start after leading 2-1 at the end of the first quarter
- Exploded for 10 goals in the second quarter, including five in a row in just under five minutes of game time
- Kept San Diego State at arm’s length in the third quarter to lead by nine heading to the fourth
- Weathered a push by the Aztecs as the visitors outscored MU 6-2 in the front end of the final quarter to pull within five goals
- Punched back on SDSU to close with just one goal allowed in the final eight minutes and none in the final three while tacking on three of their own to cinch up the win.
