In their second matchup of the season with the Denver Pioneers (8-2, 6-0 BIG EAST), the Marquette Golden Eagles (1-6, 0-5 BIG EAST) fell apart late and lost 16-6 on the road.
Sean Richard had a tough day in net for the Golden Eagles, as the redshirt first-year would save just over half the shots he faced, with a 51.7% save percentage. With 2:57 remaining in the game, head coach Andrew Stimmel had seen enough, called a timeout and pulled Richard and put in redshirt junior Gabe Stein to finish the remainder of the game. Stein gave up two goals within the final three minutes of the contest.
