When you play against junior attacker CJ Kirst, leading scorer in Division I men’s lacrosse, there’s not much one can do.
That was the case for Marquette men’s lacrosse Tuesday afternoon when it took on No. 6 Cornell in Ithaca, New York.
Kirst’s six goals and two assists were too much for the Golden Eagles to overcome as they fell to the Big Red 21-11.

Marquette scored first off the stick of senior attacker Devon Cowan at the 12:26 mark in the first quarter.
Fast forward to the 12:56 mark in the second quarter and Marquette found itself trailing 10-1 as Cornel scored 10 unanswered goals, five of which were scored or assisted by Kirst.
