For about 18 minutes on Saturday afternoon in the Mile High City, it seemed like the sun was shining on Marquette women’s lacrosse. They had a 4-2 lead on the #10 team in the country at the end of the first quarter, and things were proceeding in roughly the same manner in the second quarter. It’s hard to not get excited about an early lead in a game where your team has a chance to win their first ever Big East championship.
And then Denver remembered that they’re the #10 team in the country AND that they just suffered their second loss of the season earlier this week AND that they were kind of peeved about how the last five quarters of lacrosse had gone.
