On Saturday, Marquette Golden Eagles men’s lacrosse stomped down Jacksonville by a final of 17-1.
On Monday, the Maverik media poll voters rewarded the Golden Eagles for their season debut by boosting them in the top 20, sliding MU from #20 a week ago up to #16.
Marquette had started out the season at #18 in the preseason poll, but with teams moving around a bit with their seasons starting up, they slid down to #20 while staying inactive until Saturday afternoon. Their first 60 minutes of action apparently reminded the voters exactly why they liked the Golden Eagles to begin with, thus the bump up the charts.
