Marquette women’s lacrosse (4-4) have made program history by finishing .500 in non-conference play for the first time, but the final game in that span offered reason for concern.
The No. 9 Northwestern Wildcats (5-2) ran roughshod over Marquette, scoring seven straight goals in the first half to pull away to a 20-9 win. Marquette head coach Meredith Black thought Northwestern’s early run deflated her team.
“We’ve got to figure out how to play for the full 60 (minutes) and just be OK with the other team going on a run here or there,” Black said.
