The men’s lacrosse team ended the regular season with a 7-4 loss at No. 4 Denver Saturday afternoon, setting up a rematch against the Pioneers next Thursday in the BIG EAST Tournament semifinals.
Marquette (6-7, 3-2 BIG EAST) will be the fourth seed after its loss to Denver and wins from Georgetown and Villanova. Denver will be the top seed.
The Golden Eagles stuck with the Pioneers (11-2, 5-o BIG EAST) throughout most of the game, but Marquette’s defense could not negate another lethargic offensive performance.
Denver started the game with an 11-6 shot advantage and eventually had a 4-1 lead at halftime.
