The good news from Thursday night at Valley Fields was that Marquette women’s lacrosse was within a goal, 13-12, of the #3 team in the country for three of the four quarters of the game, and also because MU tallied up 14 goals in the game, Mary Schumar was able to record a team record eight assists on the night.
The bad news is that Northwestern is the #3 team in the country, and that’s why they outscored Marquette 8-2 in the second quarter and used that six goal edge to get themselves a 21-14 win over the Golden Eagles.
