Last season, it took Marquette 57 minutes and 53 seconds to put Jacksonville away. This year, the tale was completely different.
In Friday night’s contest at Jacksonville, No. 19 Marquette defeated the Dolphins 14-12, not trailing for a single second.
The Golden Eagles got out to a hot start, putting up six goals in the first 15 minutes and taking a 6-1 lead.
Seven different players scored Marquette’s seven goals in the first half.
The second half was a much different story. Jacksonville clawed its way back, bringing its deficit to just one.
However, junior Nick Grill had six ground balls on the day and made some crucial interceptions to keep the ball out of the cage.
