Marquette Volleyball Preview: at #6 Wisconsin, vs St. Thomas, & vs Milwaukee
The Golden Eagles wander over to Madison for a nationally televised clash before returning home for two matches.
Marquette's volleyball season is set to begin with a non-conference schedule against top 10 competition. The team will face #6 Wisconsin, St. Thomas, and Milwaukee in their upcoming matches. Marquette's record stands at 3-4, and a win against Wisconsin could secure them a .500 record heading into the Big East play. Head coach Tom Mendoza will be looking to test his freshmen in these games, particularly against DePaul, Xavier, and Villanova.
Marquette's top attackers, Eva Travis and Audrey Flanagan, have been struggling to hit over .200 on the season, despite averaging over 100 swings each. Wisconsin is favored to win against St. Thomas, who has lost three of their last four games. Marquette has not faced St. Thomas before, as their only meeting was in 1985. Wisconsin is currently ranked #1 in strength of schedule by Evollve, while Marquette is ranked #21.
