Women’s lacrosse dropped their second game of the season 21-9 against No. 10 Notre Dame yesterday afternoon.
The Golden Eagles were no match for the highly-talented Irish, who reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament last season and showed they are poised to do so again.
Marquette showed early positive signs after Julianna Shearer scored twice in 25 seconds to take a 2-1 lead. Shearer led the team with four goals on the night, giving her five on the season. The Irish responded with four quick goals and never looked back, out-shooting Marquette 48-22.
Marquette’s defense struggled to contain Notre Dame’s potent offense, who average 19 goals a game, good for fourth in the NCAA.
