For the fourth game in a row, Marquette men’s lacrosse outshot their opponent. But poor shooting and sloppy offensive zone passing made the statistical win meaningless as the Golden Eagles lost their third game in a row, falling 11-7 to No. 4 Duke Saturday afternoon.
It was the closest meeting between the two programs who have met every season in Marquette’s short history. The Golden Eagles have never defeated the Blue Devils.
“I think our seniors, they settled at the end there towards the middle of the third quarter: they settled that is was going to be a good game and that was enough for them and that’s frustrating,” head coach Joe Amplo said.
