Marquette Lacrosse 2015

After their impressive first season in the Big East Conference, finishing 4–2 in conference play, Marquette looks to continue their success this season. In such a short time Marquette has established themselves as a team that will be able to compete with oppositions such as, Georgetown, Villanova, St. Johns, and Providence in the chase for No. 1 Denver. Even with finishing second in the conference last year Marquette has been given the title of the dark horse due to their young program.

Although they lost honorable mention All-American Tyler Melnyk, they have a strong core of returning players, along with an addition of 13 freshman and 2 transfers. Sr. transfer Jordan Greenfield is looking to take the place of Tyler Melnyk in the lefty attackman position. Some notable mentions from the returning core consist of first-team all-conference selection, defenseman B.J. Grill, and second-team All-Big East picks, midfielder Kyle Whitlow and long-stick midfielder Liam Byrnes.

For the reigning Big East coach of the year, Joe Amplo, having these returners and a surplus of new talent gives him an abundance of ways to game plan for the upcoming season.
