The American Volleyball Coaches Association released their first in-season poll of 2017 on Monday, and YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles have picked up a few votes.
Not a lot, only enough to tally 11 points following their 1-2 opening weekend. The lone win was against at-the-time #20 Hawaii, thus the interest in the Golden Eagles. MU also had competitive matches against UCLA and San Diego, who were ranked #13 and #22 respectively at the time. 11 points is good enough to be unofficially ranked #36 in the country for the time being, tucked right in between Pittsburgh with 12 points and Duke with 10.
