In the last eight quarters of lacrosse, Marquette Golden Eagles men’s lacrosse has scored 39 goals. They set a season high for goals scored against Providence, and then came back seven days later and beat it, recording 20 goals for the first time in program history in their 23-13 win over St. John’s.
Two games, 39 goals. Dang near 20 goals a game.
The eight previous games? 79. Less than 10 an outing.
I choose to believe that this is more about Marquette than it is about the Friars or the Red Storm. I choose to believe that Marquette has figured something out about themselves as the season starts coming into the home stretch.
