The Marquette Golden Eagles are coming off a weekend where they dropped a match to Butler 3-2 after they swept Xavier the night before. Now I was kind of shocked when I saw the Golden Eagles lost to Butler due to the dumb play to 15 in the fifth set rule, but with the win Butler jumped ahead of Villanova in the RPI rankings. With this loss, Marquette absolutely cannot lose another game in Big East play outside of the one in Omaha next week if they want to make the NCAA tournament. Allie Barber led the team in kills against Xavier with 18 while Lauren Speckman tallied 44 assists.
