It was a slow start for Marquette women’s lacrosse (2-3) against Detroit Mercy (0-4) with snowy conditions and a wind advisory in Detroit.
Though, when the Golden Eagles finally got their engine warmed and windshield defrosted, there was no looking back, ending in a 19-7 win over the Titans Wednesday afternoon after leading by only two goals at halftime.
It was Marquette’s first road win of the year and stopped its three-game losing streak.
Saves keep Detroit in the game
Right away, Marquette showed up with a quick two goals in the first three minutes from junior attacker Meg Bireley and junior midfielder Hanna Bodner.
