Behind a career-high six goals from senior attack Shea Garcia and an offensive explosion, the Marquette women’s lacrosse team got back in the win column Friday afternoon defeating Detroit Mercy 22-9.
Head coach Meredith Black’s squad came just one goal shy of tying the program’s all-time single game record for goals in a match.
After trading early goals with the Titans in the first quarter, the Golden Eagles got hot on offense with a 5-0 run, which was fueled by four goals from Garcia, to head into the second quarter up 7-3.
The momentum continued in the second frame as Marquette opened up the second quarter with a 5-0 run, which included two goals from first-year attacker/midfielder Elsie Smigiel.
