After opening the season on Friday with a three set win over Texas State, Marquette continued their competition in the Baylor Invitational on Saturday with two more matches. The Golden Eagles defeated LSU in straight sets (25-22, 25-23, 25-14) in the afternoon before falling in four sets (31-33, 27-25, 17-25, 22-25) to #16 Baylor at night. Marquette is now 2-1 on the season.
And that’s fine. In fact, you could make the argument that outside of picking up three wins, MU came away from Waco with the best possible results.
