The Marquette men’s lacrosse team dropped its Big East opener with a loss of 16-14 on the road against Providence College.
Marquette didn’t go down without a fight as it was stuck in a constant game of catch-up.
Despite Marquette senior attacker, Devon Cowan, scoring the first goal of the game, the Golden Eagles found themselves in an early deficit. After the Cowan goal, the Friars went on to score five uninterrupted goals to close the first frame.
By the end of the fourth quarter, Providence had led by four goals on five separate occasions.
Foster Flourishes
Sophomore attacker Will Foster took the helm for Marquette as he scored within the first 30 seconds of second quarter play.
