The No. 25 Marquette Golden Eagles fell short in the fifth set to No. 19 Creighton on Friday night at the D.J. Sokol Arena in Omaha, Nebraska.
Marquette was slow to start, as Creighton was able to score 12 unanswered points. Despite a block from senior outside hitter Kaitlyn Lines and an ace from senior outside hitter Hope Werch, the Golden Eagles were unable to cut the early lead and eventually lost the set 25-13.
MU made some adjustments to begin the second set, however. They outscored the Bluejays 4-1. After a few back and forth volleys from both teams, Marquette was able to hedge a 19-10 lead, but CU did not back down their play attack.
