Sunday evening brought Marquette volleyball a chance to shine for the AVCA top 25 voters after falling in four sets to #6 Wisconsin on Friday night. High Point is the favorite to win the Big South this season, so they’re a quality foe that Marquette should still be favored against, and that’s how you remind voters to keep you in the top 25.
What ended up happening is Marquette did get the win, but at a glance, it was both sensible and nonsensical that it went to four sets before the Golden Eagles prevailed, 3-1.
It’ll make sense in a second.
