16 shots, four goals, but it was the last one on both accounts that mattered for Marquette on Saturday afternoon.
John Wagner’s final shot of the day became his final goal of the day and it pushed the Golden Eagles to a 9-8 overtime victory against #18 Georgetown at Valley Fields. The win snaps a three game losing streak for Marquette, but it also posts them to a 1-0 record in Big East play, as this was the league opener for both squads.
I’m giving this its own paragraph, because this continues to blow my mind for a sixth year program: Marquette is now 19-7 all time in games decided by one goal.
