Women’s lacrosse falls to Villanova in BIG EAST opener

Marquette women’s lacrosse lost to the Villanova Wildcats 15-13 in a close game Saturday afternoon.

Both teams had scoring runs at different points of the game, but the score stayed relatively close throughout the game.

Senior midfielder Lindsey Willcocks scored Marquette’s first goal of the game before graduate student Charlotte McGuire scored MU’s next three goals to get an early hat trick. However, Villanova used a 4-0 run to end the first half with a 9-4 lead.

“We just need the ball,” head coach Meredith Black said. “We can’t score without the ball.”

The Wildcats came into the second half and scored twice in the first three minutes with goals by Kim McDonough and Brittany Bruno.
