Box Score (PDF)
VILLANOVA, Pennsylvania – The Marquette University men's lacrosse team fell, 19-8, to No. 18 Villanova on Saturday at Villanova Stadium.
The Golden Eagles (3-8, 2-7 BIG EAST) trailed 8-4 midway through the second quarter before the Wildcats reeled off eight-straight scores for a commanding 16-4 lead.
Redshirt senior Connor McClelland posted a hat trick to lead MU in scoring, while Devon Cowan, Griffin Fleming, Ryan Fazio, Morgan Macko and Colin O'Donnell each added scores of their own.
Corey McManus scored a game-high six goals for Villanova (6-3, 6-3 BIG EAST), while Matt Campbell scored five times.
Campbell also scored five goals in VU's 16-14 win over Marquette at Valley Fields in this year's previous meeting on Feb. 27. Cowan led MU in that contest with four goals and a pair of assists.
McClelland scored MU's first at the 12:21 mark of the opening frame to pull the Golden Eagles within one, 2-1, but MU kept trading two VU goals for one. Cowan's score came with 7:47 remaining in the second half prior to the 8-0 run from the Widcats, which spanned the halftime break.
Marquette is 3-7 all-time against Villanova and has lost each of the last five meetings. The last win for the Golden Eagles over the Wildcats came in the 2016 BIG EAST Championship semifinals, a 14-9 win at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium in Denver.
The Golden Eagles play their final regular season game of the season at St. John's on Friday, April 30 at 11 a.m. CT.
