MILWAUKEE – The No. 15 University of Denver women's lacrosse team will face Georgetown in the BIG EAST Tournament Championship, held in Milwaukee, Wis., on Saturday, May 4 at 12:30 p.m. MT. The Pioneers defeated Villanova 15-5 to advance to the finals, improving their record to 14-2 on the year. Georgetown took down Marquette 17-10 in the semifinals and improved to a 10-8 record this season.
Â
The Pioneers are 3-2 all-time in BIG EAST Tournament games, a perfect 3-0 in semifinal contests and 0-2 in the championship match. The last time Denver played Georgetown was back on April 6 in Washington D.C. where the Crimson and Gold came out victorious with a 12-9 win. The two teams were evenly matched, both putting up 24 total shots and 19 shots on goal. The goalies proved to be the difference maker; Carson Gregg totaled 10 saves while Georgetown's Haelle Chomo and Micheline Dinardo combined for seven. Quintin Hoch-Bullen led the team with four goals against the Hoyas, followed by Julia Feiss (3), Elizabeth Behrins (1) and Eliza Radochonski (1).
Â
Georgetown looks for its second BIG EAST Title in program history, having won the tournament back in 2010. They Hoyas are 8-11 all-time in BIG EAST tournament games, and are 0-2 against the Pioneers, losing in the semifinals in both 2017 and 2018. Grace Whitehurst, the Co-BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year, was essential in the Georgetown's win over Marquette on Thursday, posting a team-high six goals and eight points for the Hoyas to clinch a spot in the championship game.
Â
Following the championship game, the Pioneers will await their fate in the NCAA Tournament. The NCAA Selection Show is set to air Sunday, May 5 at 6 p.m. MT. Â
