John Wagner scored his third game-winning goal of the season in the BIG EAST conference opening 9-8 win over Georgetown.
Men’s lacrosse coach Joe Amplo is familiar with one-goal games against No. 16/18 Georgetown. Saturday was the fourth time in the last five games against the Hoyas to be decided by one goal. Amplo seems to find a way to win in most of those.
That was the case again Saturday, as John Wagner’s third game-winning goal of the season helped Marquette end its three-game losing streak and walk away with a 9-8 overtime win.
Marquette (4-3, 1-0 in BIG EAST) got its first win of the conference season and improved to 19-7 in games decided by one goal and 2-1 this season.
