Marquette volleyball’s historic season will at least one week longer after the Golden Eagles swept the University of Cincinnati Bearcats (25-19, 25-21, 25-16) Saturday night at the Al McGuire Center.
This is the first time in program history Marquette has made it to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
“Big win tonight,” head coach Ryan Theis said. “I couldn’t be happier for the team, the effort, the work they’ve put in.”
Junior Allie Barber began the opening set on fire, recording the first three kills for the Golden Eagles. Freshman Ellie Koontz recorded the first non-Barber kill to put the team up 7-6.
