For the first time this season, Marquette women’s lacrosse found themselves in a shoot out. There were at least six combined goals between both teams in every single quarter of MU’s Sunday afternoon contest against Cincinnati, and Marquette needed dang near every single one that they threw in. By the time the final horn went, Marquette had picked up the 19-13 victory over the Bearcats, extending their program record winning streak to start the season to three straight games.
It took the Golden Eagles a little bit to get going, and not just because Shea Garcia’s first goal of the game 1) was with 10:39 left in the first quarter or 2) halved Cincinnati’s 2-0 early lead.
