After opening the 2022 season with two road games, the Marquette men’s lacrosse team returned to Valley Fields Saturday afternoon to host Utah in its home opener on National Marquette Day.
In what was a back and forth contest, the Golden Eagles fell to the Utes by a score of 12-11.
“It was an incredible turnout, especially on National Marquette Day with a hoops game going on,” Marquette head coach Andrew Stimmel said. “But really I’m proud of the fight of our guys. It was a back-and-forth game and they (Utah) came out on top today.”
The Utes started the contest with no time to waste as junior defender Samual Cambere put one past Marquette redshirt first-year goalkeeper Michael Allieri with a little over one minute into the game.
