Powered by double digit kills from four players, #2 seed Marquette defeated #3 seed Butler 3-1 (25-15, 26-24, 25-17, 25-20) in the Big East volleyball tournament semifinals on Friday afternoon.
With the win, the Golden Eagles advance to Saturday afternoon’s championship match, where they will square off with #1 seed Creighton, who defeated Villanova in the other semifinal. It will be a rubber match, as the two teams split their regular season meetings.
