Saturday started off with bad news for Marquette men’s lacrosse. The Golden Eagles would be playing without three starters — Devon Cowan, Russell Melendez, and Zach Granger — due to injuries, and even worse, all three are being referred to by the team as “out indefinitely.” That’s not ideal.
You know what is ideal? Freshman attacker Bobby O’Grady not just scoring four goals to lead the team in goals and points against Detroit Mercy, but scoring three consecutive goals in the second quarter. The Massachusetts native nearly single handedly turned a 3-3 game into an 8-3 Marquette lead and jumpstarted a 7-0 Marquette run that carried the Golden Eagles all the way through to the 13-7 win over Detroit Mercy.
