Junior Anna Haak put up 25 kills and 23 digs against Villanova last weekend. She followed it up with 20 kills and 20 digs against Butler in the BIG EAST semifinals.
The Marquette Golden Eagles have been one of four teams in the conference to make the BIG EAST Tournament the last three seasons. And in each of those three years, the Golden Eagles have bowed out in the first round.
This year, Marquette broke the streak.
After splitting the first two sets with the third-seeded Butler Bulldogs, Marquette captured the next two frames to take the match in four sets (25-15, 24-26, 25-17, 25-20).
