Milwaukee has something to cheer about after an electrifying matchup on the lacrosse field! The Marquette University men’s lacrosse team celebrated a triumphant win against the Detroit Mercy Titans, showcasing exceptional talent and skill while claiming a commanding 16-6 victory at Valley Fields. The star of the game? None other than Nolan Rappis, who set a jaw-dropping new program record with an astonishing 10 points—a feat that’s sure to be remembered for years to come!
This eagerly anticipated match marked a significant milestone for Marquette’s newly appointed head coach, Jake Richard, who celebrated his very first victory at the helm. It’s a great way to kick off his career with the Golden Eagles, and fans are already buzzing with excitement about what the future will bring under his leadership.
Rappis wasn’t the only one shining on the field this day. Lucas Lawas, a junior goalie for Marquette, made his mark by achieving his first career victory, proudly racking up nine saves. It was a monumental day for him as he bolstered Marquette’s defense against a determined Titans offense. In the final moments, Jack Kask stepped in as goalie and played the last 5:47 of the game, contributing to the solid team effort.
It wasn’t just the defensive plays that stood out; the Golden Eagles dominated the game offensively. With 49 shots fired on target compared to Detroit Mercy’s 26, they clearly had the upper hand. The faceoffs were also a highlight, as Marquette won an impressive 19 out of 26 of them, showcasing their strength in the midfield. As if that weren’t enough, Marquette’s players hustled to collect 10 more ground balls than their rivals, securing their possession and momentum.
While Marquette basked in their well-deserved victory, Detroit Mercy, now with a record of 0-2 for the season, faced a challenging day on the field. Scoring for the Titans were Caden Loken and Cedarburg, Wisconsin’s own Marcus Thundercloud, each netting two goals. Despite their loss, they will undoubtedly regroup and prepare for their next match.
As Marquette continues to build on this foundation of success, they are not short on challenges. On Saturday, February 15, they will face a significant test as they go up against the two-time defending NCAA Champion and current No. 1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Fans are eagerly anticipating this game, which is set to kick-off at 11 a.m. Central time at the Loftus Sports Center in Indiana. Can Marquette keep the momentum flowing and build on this record-setting performance? Only time will tell!
All in all, it’s an exciting time for Marquette lacrosse, and with talents like Rappis and Lawas leading the charge, fans can look forward to a thrilling season ahead!
