Despite capturing a must-win game Friday against Cincinnati, the Marquette women’s lacrosse team missed out on the BIG EAST Tournament due to a three-way tiebreaker scenario.
With Temple’s 11-4 win over Georgetown Saturday, the Owls clinched the No. 3 seed in the tournament by virtue of goal differential. That left a head-to-head tiebreak between Georgetown and Marquette, which ultimately went to the Hoyas because they defeated the Golden Eagles last week, 13-12.
Marquette’s win (7-10, 4-3 BIG EAST) set single-season program records for overall victories and conference wins. Head coach Meredith Black said she was proud of the way her team played down the stretch Friday, as it did throughout the season.
