The Marquette women’s lacrosse team suffered a 14-10 loss against No. 19 University of Louisville Sunday afternoon at Valley Fields.
The visitors outscored Marquette 7-5 in both halves to hold off the Golden Eagles in the non-conference match-up.
The first half was a story of scoring runs. Louisville scored on their first possession of the day and Marquette followed 90 seconds later. Marquette was able to net four unanswered goals to take a 4-1 lead in the first ten minutes. That lead was short-lived, however, as the Cardinals scored six unanswered.
Louisville dominated after Marquette’s early run and took the lead into halftime by two.
