Sometimes media poll voting is a mystery to me. One of those times is right now, as YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles men’s lacrosse team is ranked #16 in the country in the final Maverik media poll for the 2017 season.
The Golden Eagles finished the season with a record of 8-8 after losing to Notre Dame in the first round of the NCAA tournament by a score of 15-9. MU had qualified for the Big Barbecue by defeating Denver and Providence in the Big East tournament, but the win over the at-the-time ranked #2 in the country Pioneers was Marquette’s only notable win of the season.
