The men’s lacrosse team seemingly did the impossible when they completed an unlikely comeback by scoring four goals in the final 1:37 to force overtime against Providence Saturday afternoon. Junior attackman John Wagner completed the comeback by scoring his fifth game-winning goal of the season and fourth in overtime, topping the Friars 12-11 at Valley Fields.
Wagner and his Marquette teammates recognized a sense of urgency and put their foot on the gas and did not let go.
“We just relied on second nature,” Wagner said. “At that point, you’re playing for more time, you’re playing on instinct rather than X’s and O’s and when we play loose and together, good things happen.
