The best attacker in the Big East made a statement for Player of the Year on Thursday night.
Sophomore outside hitter Allie Barber went for TWENTY-ONE kills in just three sets as Marquette shredded their way through #12 ranked Creighton for the 3-0 (25-16, 25-15, 25-21) victory. Marquette is now clear and away in first place in the Big East by themselves at 6-0, while Creighton falls to 4-1 in league play and snaps a 28 match winning streak in league play.
It’s the first win over Creighton for Marquette since the 2013 Big East championship match, and, as that came under the guide of Bond Shymansky, it’s the first win over Creighton for current head coach Ryan Theis.
