Goals from Shea Garcia and Lindsey Willcocks in the final 13 minutes pulled Marquette women’s lacrosse even with Villanova on Saturday at Valley Fields, but the Wildcats scored the last two goals of the game to get the 15-13 win in the Big East opener for both teams. Marquette goes to 0-1 in league play and 6-7 overall, while Villanova is now 1-0 in the Big East and 7-4 overall.
For a moment there, it definitely looked like Marquette wasn’t going to even get those two game-tying goals. Villanova turned a 2-1 Marquette lead completely on its head over the final 19 minutes of the first half and first three minutes of the second half.
