Vikes Fall to Golden Eagles

MILWAUKEE, Wisc. – The Cleveland State University men's lacrosse team fell to Marquette on Saturday afternoon at Valley Fields, 10-5. With the loss, the Green and White now fall to 1-4 on the season.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"Hats off to Marquette and the way they played today, especially defensively. I thought we did a nice job at the 'x' and our defense was excellent – we just couldn't get going on the other end and that's a credit to them. It's been a long five weeks on the road and I know the boys will be happy to be back in the whites next week." – Head Coach Andy German
