Marquette women’s lacrosse ended its regular season with a 14-12 upset over No. 24 Georgetown Saturday afternoon, defeating the Hoyas for the first time in program history.
“I can’t really put it into words. It’s an amazing feeling,” senior midfielder Grace Gabriel said. “We’ve been on this journey trying to beat them all four years and to finally get this win is an incredible feeling. … We’ve never beaten a ranked opponent either.”
From first whistle, it seemed as though Georgetown was going to control the game. At the start, the Hoyas dominated draw controls, outshot the Golden Eagles and converted on free-position shots.
