Change is inevitable in all walks of life, but for the Marquette Golden Eagles and everyone else in the Big East, the foreseeable future at least still appeared to be under the stranglehold of Kirsten Bernthal Booth and her Creighton volleyball program on Saturday night in Milwaukee.
With over 2,000 fans packed into the 16-year-old Al McGuire Center, the 13th-ranked Bluejays and 10th-ranked Golden Eagles met to determine an early front-runner for the 2019 Big East regular season title. As has been the case for the last five consecutive seasons, it was Creighton once again securing the win, defeating Marquette in five sets (25-21, 25-23, 27-29, 29-31, 15-8) to improve to 13-3 on the season and a perfect 6-0 in Big East play.
