2/11/2023 3:40 PM | Lacrosse
SALT LAKE CITY – The University of Utah Lacrosse team came away victorious today in Rice-Eccles Stadium, beating the Marquette Golden Eagles 18-16 for its first win of the season. Utah improved to 1-1 overall.
Marquette would tie the game and take the lead for the first time with 12:58 to go in the second quarter, but that would be the only lead they would hold with the Utes holding steady for the remainder of the game.
Utah out-shot the Golden Eagles 50-33 with 28 of those shots coming on goal. The Utes also won the ground ball game (35-27) while also coming away winning 19 of the 35 faceoff attempts.
GAME LEADERS
Junior Tyler Bradbury made history today with his six points (2 goals, 4 assists), becoming the all-time leader in career points (110), passing Josh Stout who had 105 from 2019-22. Junior Jared Andreala also set some personal records, scoring a career-high four goals on five shots on goal, adding four ground balls.
In total, 10 different Utes scored today, with Andreala (4), Bradbury (2), MJ McMahon (2), Koa Todd (2), Josh Rose (2) and Colby Plotts (2) all scoring multiple goals.
Faceoff specialist and midfielder Cole Brams led the team with nine ground balls and 18 faceoffs won with Bradbury also contributing a career-high tying four ground balls to his stat line. Senior Samuel Cambere finished with a team-high three caused turnovers with freshman goalkeeper also posting a career-high 10 saves on the day.
FIRST QUARTER BREAKDOWN
The Utes took an early 2-0 lead in the game when it was a defensive takeover on the offensive side of the field as long stick Plotts found Cambere open for a goal just 15 seconds in. The Utes followed it up with an unassisted shot and a goal from Andreala with 13:08 on the clock to make it 2-0.
After the Golden Eagles made it a two-point game, Bradbury would score his first goal of the game at the 11:12 mark after beating his defender on a cut, followed by a point from Todd to give the Utes a 4-1 lead with 9:53 to go.
The Utes would hold a 6-2 lead with 5:36 remaining in the quarter on goals from Ryan Stines and McMahon, but Marquette would score three unanswered to make it a one-point game heading into the second quarter.
SECOND QUARTER BREAKDOWN
The Golden Eagles put the Utes on their heels to start the second quarter, scoring two straight to take a 7-6 lead with 10:49 on the clock. Utah would answer though with a two-goal swing to make it 8-7 that included Bradbury's second of the game right in front of the crease.
The Utes would make it three in a row after Todd would go on to hit a 15-yarder off a spin move to give Utah a 9-7 advantage with 6:10 remaining in the quarter, eventually taking a 10-7 lead on a goal by Carson Moyer. Marquette would end its scoring drought with less than two minutes to go in the half, sending the Utes into halftime up 10-8.
THIRD QUARTER BREAKDOWN
Marquette made it a one-point game early in the third quarter, but the Utes would counter with two goals within a minute of each other as Andreala and Jordan Hyde would find the back of the net with assists from Bradbury and Zach Chandler for a 12-9 lead with 10:19 on the clock.
The Golden Eagles would keep it close though, going on a 3-0 run to tie things up 12-12 at the 7:08 mark in the quarter. It would be Plotts with the answer for the Utes, faking his defender with a shot to get open and take it to the house for his first goal of the game and a one-point lead for Utah.
It would be Rose's goal with 1:58 left in the third quarter that would send the crowd into a frenzy as the junior produced a diving, behind-the-back shot into the cage for a two-point advantage for the Utes. Utah would then head into the final quarter with a 15-13 lead on a final goal from Andreala after a key ground ball from Brams.
FOURTH QUARTER BREAKDOWN
After taking an early three-point lead in the fourth quarter, Utah nor the Golden Eagles would score again until the 2:07 mark where Andreala would put in his fourth and final goal.
With a three-point lead with under two minutes to go, the Utes got some pressure from Marquette with the Golden Eagles scoring two goals in a span of around 30 seconds, making it a one-point game.
It would once again be Plotts with the answer after Joey Boylston recorded a key caused turnover on the defensive side of the ball, finding a wide open Plotts with a wide open goal, capitalizing on the moment to secure Utah's 18-16 victory.
