Marquette Women’s Lacrosse Holds Off Georgetown; Clinches Big East Tournament Berth

Senior Day was a big day for Marquette women’s lacrosse. The Golden Eagles got four point (or better!) outings from three different women as they held off a late Georgetown rally to snag the 14-12 victory at Valley Fields. The win moves Marquette to 8-8 on the season, but 3-1 in Big East play. Officially, Saturday’s losses for Villanova and Butler locked the Golden Eagles into one of the top four spots in the Big East this season and thus one of the four spots in the conference tournament semifinals. However, it’s nice that MU went ahead and got the win that would have put them in even if those other two games had gone a different way.
