Marquette volleyball opens season with sweep over Illinois State

The Marquette women’s volleyball team swept Illinois State at home Friday evening.

After the postponement of fall sports due to COVID-19, the Golden Eagles were finally able to play for the first time since 2019 and took care of business with veteran players taking the reins.

University of Wisconsin-Green Bay senior transfer Taylor Wolf led the way for the squad with a triple-double, making her first match in a Marquette uniform one to remember. She also tallied 10 kills, 16 assists, 11 digs and three blocks.

Senior outside hitter Hope Werch and sophomore outside hitter Hannah Vanden Berg also had notable performances, both totaling nine kills on the night.
