We went into Saturday’s Big East volleyball tournament championship match with the thought that Marquette was absolutely capable of beating Creighton. The two regular season matches — in Omaha, just like this one was — went down as a five set loss for the Golden Eagles and a three set sweep. Five set losses can be cointosses thanks to the weirdness that is the 15 point final frame, and a win is a win. The possibilities were there.
And boy oh boy, were they ever there.
Your final from D.J. Sokol Arena: Creighton 3, Marquette 1, with set scores of 18-25, 25-19, 31-29, and 25-22.
