Marquette volleyball team claims program's fifth Big East title

The Golden Eagles, in their second season under head coach Tom Mendoza, swept St. John's to end the regular season.

The Marquette volleyball team has secured their fifth Big East title. The Golden Eagles prevailed in a hard-fought match against St. John's, claiming a spot in the Big East regular-season championship. If Creighton loses to Villanova on November 15, Marquette can claim the outright championship with that win. The Golden Eagles, under head coach Tom Mendoza, have now clinched five Big East titles in their program history, with the last one achieved in 2023.

Mendoza expressed gratitude for the achievement, stating that winning championships is a wonderful way to honor the program and its student-athletes. Carson Tyler was a standout performer, contributing 17 kills and three aces in the decisive match. The Golden Eagles are expected to secure a spot in the NCAA tournament based on ESPN's bracketology.

Mendoza emphasized the importance of enjoying the moment and not getting ahead of themselves, as the team worked tirelessly to achieve this accomplishment.
