Men’s lacrosse snaps losing skid with victory over Robert Morris

Marquette men’s lacrosse appeared to be on its way to a fourth straight loss Tuesday. But a strong second quarter effort brought the Golden Eagles to an impressive 17-15 victory over Robert Morris Tuesday afternoon.

A formidable Colonial offense gave the Golden Eagles an early 7-3 deficit, but Marquette had a huge momentum shift in the second quarter. MU outscored RMU 8-1 in the second quarter with goals from six different players to take an 11-8 lead.

The Colonials tied the game 11-11 in the third quarter, but Marquette took a 14-12 advantage heading into the fourth quarter and started the fourth quarter on a 3-0 run.
