Marquette women’s lacrosse’s season came to an abrupt end Thursday with a 19-8 road loss to No. 6 Florida in the BIG EAST Tournament semifinals. The Gators (15-3, 10-0 BIG EAST) will either play Denver or Georgetown in the BIG EAST Championship on Saturday.
Sophmore goalie Julianna Horning made 17 saves in 60 minutes off 36 Florida shots on goal, but not much else went right for the Golden Eagles. The Gators quickly got on the board with an unassisted goal from Lindsey Ronbeck.
Marquette junior midfielder Grace Gabriel answered two minutes later on a feed from Allison Lane, but Marquette could not generate any momentum.
