Believe it or not, Marquette women’s lacrosse did not set a team record for fewest goals scored in a win on Saturday. That honor is probably permanently locked into a 5-4 overtime victory on the road against UC Davis back in 2015. However, Marquette did score just six goals — a season low — and […]

The Good News: There’s 27 nationally televised college basketball games on today. The Better News: 17 of the 27 are tournament championship games, meaning that there is an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament on the line.

Jack Albright from the Marquette Wire was at Madison Square Garden for the Big East tournament, and that meant he got a chance to talk to freshman guard Adrien Stevens after Marquette men’s basketball lost to Xavier in the first round to end the Golden Eagles’ season. It’s reasonable to wonder what the future holds […]

I wonder how Marquette women’s lacrosse spent the day on Tuesday. They were supposed to host Detroit Mercy for a mid-day start in the middle of spring break on campus, but the Titans ended up being forced to withdraw from the game because of a lack of available healthy players after a 20-3 loss to […]

I have a theory. I’ve only been watching lacrosse seriously since 2013, so I’m still working out ideas of how all of this works. Forgive me if I’m stepping over some lines of unwritten rules or something. This is my theory: I think it’s hard to win a lacrosse game when you go nearly 32 […]

As Xavier developed their first half advantage out to 29-19 with just under 10 minutes left in the first half at Madison Square Garden I thought to myself, “ah, yes, the pattern of what happened in the first half of the visit to Xavier in the regular season is repeating itself, just a little bit […]

How much do you want to care about Marquette’s defense giving up 12 goals to Mercer? It was 15-6 at halftime, 17-11 going into the fourth quarter. Really, it was just that 15 minutes that was a problem, giving up five goals on 14 shots and seven on frame. All three of those numbers were […]
