St. John’s looks to win its first conference game since the 2016 season
QUEENS, N.Y. – After losing its final non-conference game of the season on Tuesday to local rival Stony Brook, the St. John's lacrosse team returns to action this Saturday in Milwaukee to battle the Marquette Golden Eagles in its second BIG EAST showdown of the season.
Coverage of Saturday's game will be streamed live by Marquette Athletics via GoMarquette.com. Live stats will also be available through the same site.
The contest will mark the first road game for the Johnnies since March 12, when the Red Storm lost a tough battle to local foe Hofstra, 9-7. A victory on Saturday will mark the Johnnies' first BIG EAST win since April 30, 2016 and improve to 5-6 this season.
The St. John's lacrosse team (4-6) dropped its second-straight contest in dramatic fashion on Tuesday, falling to the Stony Brook Seawolves, 12-11, at DaSilva Memorial Field.
On the last play of the game, Joe Madsen ran towards the net and fired a laser as the time expired. The shot had beaten Bollinger but had ricocheted off the crossbar and off the left post, missing his second-straight attempt within inches. The Locust Valley, N.Y., native led the Red Storm offensively, finishing with four goals and one assist.
Seven other Johnnies tallied a goal in the losing effort, including freshman midfielder Matt Duncan and junior defenseman Pat Smyth, both recording their first goal in a Red Storm uniform.
Freshman goalkeeper Brody Agres kept the Red Storm in the game yet again, recording 14 saves in the loss against Stony Brook.
Colin Bosak and Joseph Fitzpatrick split the duties at the X for St. John's, winning 13 of the 26 total attempts. Bosak finished 9-of-15 while Fitzpatrick won four of his faceoff tries for the Red Storm.
Saturday's showdown will mark the 10th game of the season for the Golden Eagles, and their fifth home game (first at Valley Fields). Marquette heads into Saturday's matchup having lost its first conference game of the 2019 campaign to Villanova on March 30. On March 23, the Golden Eagles won its first BIG EAST contest of the season at Georgetown, 9-8. Four of Marquette's five wins this season have been decided by less than three goals.
The Golden Eagles are led in scoring by redshirt senior midfielder Tanner Thomson with 19 goals and seven assists while Andrew Romagnoli has 17 goals. Senior John Wagner and junior Connor McClelland are the top two facilitators for Marquette, combining for 21 assists. Sophomore goalkeeper John Hulsman has a 11.60 goals against average with 63 saves and a .441 save percentage in 413 minutes of action this season.
Joe Amplo, a Team USA assistant coach and member of the NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Committee, was named the first head coach in Marquette history on Feb. 4, 2011.
