Playing together ‘an unmatched experience’ for Dooley sisters

On a tight-knit Marquette women’s lacrosse team, two players share the tightest bond of all.
They have earned national honors and won high school state championships alongside each other. And now they are on the same team again, repping ‘Dooley’ on the back of their blue and gold jerseys.
Sophomore defender Maeve Dooley and first-year attacker Eileen Dooley — two sisters — have been passing buddies since they could hold a stick, and were signed up for lacrosse camps by their parents starting at the age of seven.
