The women’s lacrosse team will have to wait until Saturday to clinch a spot in the BIG EAST tournament after falling to No. 23 Georgetown (11-4, 7-1 BIG EAST), 9-8, in overtime. Hoya attacker Taylor Gebhardt scored a game-winning goal with 4:38 left in overtime.
With the loss, the Golden Eagles (9-7, 5-3 BIG EAST) remain tied for third in the conference with Denver (10-4, 5-2 BIG EAST). The Pioneers have tiebreaker over Marquette by virtue of their 17-11 victory against the Golden Eagles last week.
Sophomore goaltender Julianna Horning kept Marquette in the game, holding Georgetown to one goal in the second half and making a career-high 19 saves.
