When you beat a top 10 team in overtime, but lose to an unranked team in double overtime two days later, top 20 poll voters are willing to cut you some slack. That’s the lesson that we learned last week with Marquette men’s lacrosse.
When you follow up that with a 12-2 home loss to a team that was earning a few votes, you don’t get any more votes.
That’s the lesson for this week, as Marquette is no longer receiving votes in this week’s Maverik media top 20 poll. The Golden Eagles were ranked #18 last week, but they’re absent from the poll completely now.
