It was bound to happen eventually.
In fact, the odds were that it was going to happen exactly right here.
For the first time this season, Marquette volleyball fell in the AVCA poll from the week before. Last week, MU was #18, now they’re #19 heading into the next weekend of action.
There’s nothing wrong with being #19 in the country, and in fact, you can’t really blame the AVCA voters for dinging Marquette for a home loss to #10 Creighton. Normally I’m not a fan of penalizing a ranked team for losing to a better team in the poll, but the fact of the matter is that the Big East regular season title was all but decided when the Jays left Milwaukee with their second win over the Golden Eagles this season.
