WASHINGTON – The No. 23 Georgetown women's lacrosse team (6-3, 1-0 BIG EAST) opened conference play with a resilient 11-10 comeback victory over the Marquette University Golden Eagles (5-4, 0-1 BIG EAST) on Saturday afternoon at Valley Fields.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Georgetown and Marquette traded blows in a whirlwind opening period that featured four ties and four lead changes. Gracie Driggs ignited the Hoya offense with two early goals to help the Blue & Gray enter the first break deadlocked at 4-4.

After Marquette's Isabelle Casucci tied the game at 10-10 with 8:52 remaining, Molly Davies provided the heroics by netting the game-winner with 7:37 left on the clock. The Hoya defense stood tall in the closing minutes, anchored by a crucial late save from Leah Warehime to seal the 11-10 final.
