An early spring storm raged outside the Valley Fields dome. However, inside the dome, a different type of storm unfolded.
Between the roar of players and cheers of fans, the rain outside went unnoticed as Marquette took the No. 9 ranked Georgetown Hoyas into overtime. But despite the Golden Eagles’ efforts, the Hoyas came out on top 15-14.
“It was an electric atmosphere and game … It was a tough one for us, but I felt we’ve taken a step and gotten better. If you look back at where we were last year, we weren’t even competitive with that team (Georgetown),” Marquette head coach Andrew Stimmel said.
