And that’s it for the year.
Marquette volleyball lost in the NCAA tournament on Thursday, falling in four sets (25-20, 25-21, 24-26, 25-23) to Dayton down in West Lafayette, Indiana. That wraps up the season for the Golden Eagles with their first loss to an unranked opponent all year.
It looked, pretty much from the jump, that Dayton was the better team on the day. The Flyers went up 7-3 out of the gate, with two of Marquette’s three points coming by way of Dayton flubbing their own service. The Golden Eagles would end up falling behind 15-8 and 18-10 along the way before making a big push in the back half of the set to pull within three, 23-20, before a handling error by MU and a kill from Jamie Peterson wrapped it up for UD.
