The good news about Marquette’s 13-7 win over Detroit Mercy last Saturday? The thing was never in doubt after Bobby O’Grady scored four of the Golden Eagles’ seven goals in the second quarter. That left MU up 10-3 at intermission and they could focus on playing solid lacrosse instead of worrying about anything else.
That’s important because two of MU’s top three scorers so far this season missed that game and are out indefinitely. In just three games this year, Russell Melendez has five goals and five assists. Devon Cowan had played in all four of MU’s games before Saturday, tallying five goals and three assists.
