Marquette 2010 Spring Schedule Released
For Immediate Release—Marquette Men’s Lacrosse
MILWAUKEE—The Marquette University men’s lacrosse team announces its upcoming schedule for the 2010 spring season. Marquette will be taking on opponents throughout the country as they look to challenge for a UMLL conference crown.
The 2010 Golden Eagles schedule opens up in Lexington, Ky. as Marquette will take on SELC foes Georgia Tech and University of Kentucky on Feb. 27 and 28.
Marquette will then return home to take on the University of Illinois at home on March 7. “Our game against Illinois is a classic battle between two Midwestern states. We have tremendous respect for Coach Dodson and the program they have and definitely look forward to this battle every year,” head coach Panchito Ojeda said.
For spring break, the Golden Eagles head back to the SELC to play East Carolina on March 16, Virginia Tech on March 18 and Wake Forest on March 20. Marquette faced Wake Forest a few years ago on a trip to the SELC and lost, 11-8. The Golden Eagles will be looking to avenge that loss and face two new opponents in Virginia Tech and East Carolina.
Upon returning home, Marquette will open up its conference schedule, facing Minnesota State-Mankato, Minnesota and Iowa State as the team travels to Ames, Iowa the weekend of March 26-28. This features two close rematches from last year in which Marquette lost to Minnesota State-Mankato by two and Iowa State by one.
The Golden Eagles will then have a week off for the Easter holidays before battling Wisconsin-Milwaukee for Milwaukee supremacy on April 8 at Shorewood High School. On Saturday, April 9, the Golden Eagles welcome the Pointers of Wisconsin-Stevens Point to Marquette Valley Fields.
The Golden Eagles then travel to play Saint Cloud State and University of Minnesota-Duluth as they wrap up their conference play. Games will be played in Saint Cloud, Minn. and Minneapolis, respectively.
Marquette will play host to out of conference foe and new MCLA member, Wisconsin-Madison, on April 21. “This is a game Marquette is looking forward to. Wisconsin-Madison is new to the MCLA and has always had an excellent team, so the competition should be outstanding,” coach Ojeda stated.
Finally, Marquette will fight for a chance to win the UMLL conference crown the first weekend in May at the UMLL Conference Tournament in Minneapolis.
