Marquette’s sixth season of lacrosse starts Saturday with a matchup against the Jacksonville Dolphins at the Valley Fields Dome Saturday at noon.

The Dolphins enter Saturday’s matchup with a 1-1 regular season record, winning their first game against Navy and dropping their second to No. 1 Duke.

Last weekend’s scrimmage against the University of Pennsylvania didn’t go according to plan for the Golden Eagles.

“I don’t think we competed as a Marquette team should compete,” head coach Joe Amplo said. “They outplayed us in every aspect of the game. It was a good exhibition for us.
