The first year of the Jake Richard era has come to an end. No. 4 Marquette men’s lacrosse (7-7) fell 19-8 to top-seeded Georgetown (10-4) Thursday night in the semifinals of the Big East Tournament in Denver. The Golden Eagles got out to a hot start after senior attacker Conor McCabe and sophomore midfielder Beau Westphal netted two of the games’ first three goals to put Marquette on top 2-1 with 8:15 to play in the first quarter.

Almost a year ago to the day, there was a seismic shift inside the Marquette men’s lacrosse program. The Golden Eagles were coming off another season in which they missed the Big East Tournament and had also just lost 19 seniors. On the heels of that came the announcement that Andrew Stimmel was stepping down from the head coaching role. With the program in sort of a limbo, it was unclear what to expect from MU heading into 2025.

There was an unusually loud roar from the Fiserv Forum crowd when No. 13 scored his first points of the night two weeks ago during the Knicks at Bucks game in Milwaukee. And no, it wasn’t Ryan Rollins in the black and white No. 13 from the home team that caused the noise, it was somebody else. Somebody who has quite the history in the home arena of the Bucks. That somebody was former Marquette All-American Tyler Kolek.

The Golden Eagles (6-4, 1-1 Big East) may not have beaten Georgetown Saturday afternoon at Valley Fields, but they sure gave it everything it could handle in a 10-9 double overtime loss. “We learned a lot about ourselves in a lot of positive ways,” Richard said.

After going 5-8 in its final 13 games this season, all Marquette men’s basketball can do is ponder what went into its late-season collapse. It became increasingly evident as time went on this season that MU was not the same team in March as it was when it blew out then-No. 6 Purdue at Fiserv Forum in November, or the same squad that beat Wisconsin for the first time under head coach Shaka Smart in early December.

CLEVELAND — All the emotions of March were experienced on Friday night. First, there was the anxiety, as Marquette men’s basketball prepared for tip-off, hoping to make another deep NCAA Tournament run. Then, there was the disappointment, when Marquette got down by as many as eight points while trailing for the majority of the first half. Excitement was felt when the Golden Eagles roared back. MU had battled its way back into the game, leading by three with 12:29 to play.

The two teams split the regular season series this season, both beating each other when they were on the road. The Golden Eagles come in riding a two-game losing streak, while Xavier hasn’t lost since Feb. 9, winning seven straight since then.
