The Marquette Men’s Lacrosse Single Season Goals Chart

Bobby O’Grady: Noted Good Goal Scorer | Marquette University

By now, you should be more than familiar with  our series of regularly updating leaderboards  for various  Marquette Golden Eagles  sports accomplishments. Keep checking back to that link in the previous sentence for our charts as the seasons continue to churn through history and MU’s various teams continue to create new memories and accomplishments.

Here, we take a look at the single season goals record for men’s lacrosse.

Bobby O’Grady did not wrap up 2022 with the single season record for points, but he did knock down the program record for goals in a season. Before 2022, only Ryan McNamara had ever scored 40 goals in a season, and he did that exactly on the nose in 2016, the year MU won their first ever Big East championship. At the time, McNamara had become just the second Marquette player to ever record 35 goals in a season and the first to ever clear 37. O’Grady went flying right past the workhorse of Marquette’s first two NCAA tournament teams, and landed on 45 goals in MU’s 15 games in 2022. That makes him the first Marquette player to ever average a hat trick for an entire season. Up til now, Tyler Melnyk’s 2.57 per game in 2014 was the gold standard for the Blue and Gold.

One year later, O’Grady took a run at breaking his own record. He ultimately fell short, finishing the campaign with 43 goals, but he accomplished something else instead. O’Grady is — even now, three years later — the only player in Marquette history to score 40 or more goals in two separate seasons. In 2025, O’Grady became the first Marquette player with 30 or more goals in three different seasons, and he’s the only player in MU history to tally at least 25 goals in each year of his four year career.

O’Grady hasn’t been alone in redecorating this top 15 list in the past few seasons. Nolan Rappis now owns two of the seven best scoring seasons in MU history after back to back 30+ goal seasons. Carsen Brandt got into the action in the spring of 2026, putting up 27 goals and passing all but the 10 best seasons in MU history, all of which featured at least 30 goals.

There’s a 50 goal season coming for Marquette men’s lacrosse eventually. Six men in the country scored at least 50 in 2026, and eight averaged at least a hat trick per game, just like O’Grady did back in 2022. That’s the kind of production you need to get there, you just need a season that goes on long enough to make it to the 50 goal barrier. We’ve seen a hat trick per game performance, so it’s only a matter of time before we see one happen again as the Golden Eagles put a postseason run together around it.

Here’s what the chart looks like at the end of the 2026 season.
