Meredith Black’s ‘gold standard’ helped start women’s lacrosse program from scratch
Meredith Black was with the Marquette women’s lacrosse team before it could even be considered a team.
Before any names were on a roster, and long before there were any practices and games and wins and losses, Black was there.
She has been at the helm of the team for the lows of a 2-15 record in 2013 and the highs of a 15-4 2023 season in which they made their first NCAA tournament appearance.
But in the beginning, she said starting the program in 2012 was extremely challenging.

Just 10 days after backup quarterback Malik Willis was given a roster spot on the Green Bay Packers, he was thrown into the spotlight.
"It’s been pretty much around the clock since I got here," Willis said in the locker room after practice Wednesday. "That's the reality of this thing. You try to come in and be ready to go if you're called upon."

Marquette defending its crown in highly-anticipated season

Women’s soccer downs Providence 2-1 thanks to 68th minute goal
Entering its third to last game of the season, Marquette women’s soccer (5-10-3, 2-5-1 Big East) and Providence (6-9-1, 3-5 Big East) had both won just one of its last five games.
