And so, behind a pair of road wins over the weekend, Marquette volleyball moved to 23-4 overall and 14-2 in the Big East. The Golden Eagles defeated Xavier 3-1 (25-20, 15-25, 25-18, 25-21) on Saturday before heading to Indianapolis on Sunday and coming away with a 3-0 (25-14, 25-12, 25-17) win over Butler. Those were the final two road matches of the regular season for the Golden Eagles, and the next time they start a match away from the McGuire Center will (presumably) be in the NCAA tournament.
I say “presumably” there because at this point, it seems impossible for Marquette to miss out on an at-large bid if they don’t win the Big East tournament and secure the league’s automatic bid.
