The AVCA top 25 voters were not particularly impressed with how Marquette volleyball ended the season, but they at least kept them in the national conversation.
Marquette picked up a pair of 3-0 sweeps over St. John’s and Seton Hall to clinch a third straight regular season Big East title last weekend, but the full national picture cost the Golden Eagles some points in the newest AVCA poll. Last week, they had 54 points, but now they’re down to just 47. They’re still the unofficial #26 team in the country, trailing #25 Baylor and their 122 points, but coming in front of UC Santa Barbara and the 33 points that the Gauchos scraped together.
