Notre Dame Lacrosse: Irish host #16 Marquette Golden Eagles; game preview

On short rest, the Irish welcome the most powerful lacrosse team in all of Wisconsin

#1 Notre Dame (8-1) and #16 Marquette (8-1) faceoff for a rare Wednesday home contest at Arlotta Stadium. There's not much that we know about the Golden Eagles. Other than a few grainy, Zapruder-like films, there's not much intel on them, but all available info indicates they are in fact a very good team.

Jokes aside, Marquette is a success story in the westward expansion of D1 college lacrosse. Despite having almost no facilities, no recruiting base, and no lacrosse tradition to speak of, in 2012 they formed a Division 1 team and went right into Big East play.
