On Friday, Marquette volleyball lost for the second time this season. Not coincidentally, the second loss was a lot like the first one: A competitive, spirited affair on the road against a nationally ranked opponent. In this case, the reverse sweep loss to then-#21 Creighton snapped a 13 match winning streak for the Golden Eagles, and as you could expect, the AVCA poll voters dinged Marquette for it.
The Golden Eagles are back down to #19 in the country this week, back in the spot that they occupied for three straight weeks earlier this year.
