For the first time in program history, men’s lacrosse finished below .500 in the BIG EAST regular season.
No. 3 Denver had a dominant offensive performance, handing Marquette it’s seventh loss of the season by an 16-8 score. Marquette struck first, but Denver scored eight of the next nine goals. It was a far different outcome than the last time these two faced, a dramatic one-goal victory for Marquette to seal its first BIG EAST Championship.
“I’d be lying if I said we didn’t mention it, but revenge is a shallow emotion,” Denver coach Bill Tierney said.
