On a snowy Saturday night outside the Al McGuire Center, there were 3,175 fans inside, wearing white and waving white towels above their heads as No. 16 Marquette welcomed in No. 11 Creighton with a share of the Big East Title on the line.

The Golden Eagles took home the win defeating the Blue Jays in straight sets (25-19, 25-19, 25-21), ending a five-game losing streak to Creighton.

“We love playing Creighton, they’re a great team and we had great support here tonight at the Al,” sophomore outside hitter Jenna Reitsma said. “It was a really fun environment, it brought our momentum for us, we played really clean, we had a really good serving and passing night.
