Marquette men’s lacrosse officially began their regular season Saturday, earning an 11-10 overtime win at Cleveland State.
It was a wild end to the game, as Marquette first-year midfielder Chris Kirschner ended up being the hero in his first collegiate appearance.
Sophomore faceoff specialist Thomas Washington won the opening draw of overtime and MU began their clear. Cleveland State was attempting to execute a 10-man ride, the lacrosse equivalent of a full-court press, which leaves the net unmanned.
Kirschner received the pass and carried the ball over midfield, where he saw the open cage and fired one in for the game-winning goal.
