Sub-30 degree temperatures, a 40-minute delay and a five-game losing streak. These are all the obstacles that Marquette men’s lacrosse had to face Saturday.
But none of them mattered.
The Golden Eagles (4-5) rode a late offensive explosion to beat the St. Bonaventure University Bonnies (1-6) Saturday afternoon 8-3.
With two minutes to play in the third quarter, Marquette held a narrow 3-2 edge on the scoreboard. Enter Luke Blanc.
The senior midfielder/attacker scored two goals just 44 seconds apart from each other, giving the Golden Eagles a three goal cushion in what felt like the blink of an eye.
