Marquette Volleyball Takes The Long Way Around To 2-1

Win a set from a top 10 team, need to reverse sweep a two-win team…. yeah, okay, all in a weekend’s work

Marquette Volleyball Takes The Long Way Around To 2-1

Marquette's volleyball team achieved a 2-1 record during their weekend matches against top-ranked Wisconsin, St. Thomas, and Milwaukee. They initially won against the Badgers, taking the first set but then losing the remaining three. Against St. Thomas, they won the first two sets but lost the reverse sweep. The team's best performance came against Milwaukee, as they swept the Panthers 3-0, despite Milwaukee having a better overall season record.

Marquette's success can be attributed to their strong defensive play and the exceptional performance of player Caydence Doolan, who had a standout day with 17 kills and a .333 hitting percentage.
