Marquette men’s lacrosse was in the drivers seat with just over one minute remaining, controlling possession deep in the Air Force zone with a one-goal lead.
Then Joe Dunn let a pass get by him, turning the ball over to Air Force. Once the Falcons were able to get in their offensive zone, Marquette’s Colin Riehl was called for a 30-second push penalty with 50 seconds remaining in regulation. Suddenly, Marquette had its back to the wall.
But just like Marquette teams of the past, the Golden Eagles overcame the adversity. Cole Blazer made a spectacular stick save and forced a turnover on Air Force’s second chance to clinch a 7-6 victory.
