You know that old saying about Major League Baseball? You can’t win the pennant in April, but you can definitely lose it? That was Marquette men’s lacrosse on Saturday afternoon in Rhode Island as the Golden Eagles gave up five unanswered goals in the first quarter and ended up taking a 16-14 loss to Providence at the end of the contest. Marquette drops to 5-4 overall this season, but more importantly, they drop their Big East opener to start out league play at 0-1.
It was a great start to the game, no doubt about that, as Devon Cowan spun around to the front of the cage and scored just 52 seconds in.
