Grace Gabriel and Allison Lane both posted hat tricks for the Golden Eagles, but Marquette women’s lacrosse dropped their 2017 season opener to Louisville, 13-12, on Friday afternoon.
It was a hell of a contest in the very first official game ever played under the new bubble facility at Valley Fields. We saw four lead changes and eight ties along the way, and the largest lead in the game came with 21:06 left in the first half, when Lane scored her first of the game to put the Golden Eagles up 3-0.
At the end of the day, Marquette just didn’t have the defensive presence to shut down Louisville’s clear cut top two scorers.
