The Georgetown Hoyas men’s lacrosse team (4-0, 3-0 Big East) defeated the Marquette Golden Eagles (0-3, 0-3 Big East) on Saturday by a score of 20-13. After fighting to a draw in the first half, head coach Kevin Warne’s team used a decisive third quarter run to seize a comfortable closing margin. In the victory, graduate attackman Jake Carraway continued his record-breaking season with 3 goals and 2 assists. Junior attackman Griffin Fleming led the Golden Eagles, tallying 2 goals and 3 assists.
Coming into the game having lost their last four matchups against Marquette, the Hoyas were looking to break that streak and continue their dominant play to start the season. Despite opening up an early 3-1 lead, however, the Hoyas faced a far more difficult test than their first two Big East matchups (won by a combined score of 35-2). The Golden Eagles struck back, scoring four straight and holding Georgetown scoreless over the final 7:18 of the first quarter to take a 5-3 lead.
