In a dominant performance, the Marquette women’s lacrosse team beat Villanova Saturday afternoon 15-6 to earn its first BIG EAST win. The team set a program record for goals against a conference opponent and outshot the Wildcats 36-22.
“We had great fire coming out of the gates,” head coach Meredith Black said. “The biggest difference is that we played as a team. We backed each other up.”
With the win Marquette improved to 4-7 and matched its conference win total from last year as the team looks to qualify for the BIG EAST tournament for the first time.
