#19 Marquette Volleyball Sweeps Xavier

In front of a crowd of 975 school kids on Wednesday afternoon, #19 Marquette Golden Eagles volleyball dispatched Xavier Musketeers in just 74 minutes, winning 3-0 (25-19, 25-14, 25-20). Marquette has now won nine straight sets dating back to their 3-0 loss to #10 Creighton down in Omaha, and the Golden Eagles are now 4-1 in Big East play and 13-4 overall.

This one was never really in doubt, both in terms of where the two teams were coming into the match (Xavier is now 4-12 this season) and how the match actually played out. Marquette hit over .340 in every single set, while the Musketeers only cleared .210 in the third. Xavier hit .375 in the final frame, but it kind of didn’t mean anything…
