Allie Barber smashed 21 kills in Marquette's three-set win over No. 12 Creighton.

Marquette volleyball upset No. 12 Creighton 3-0 (25-16, 25-15, 25-21), who was previously undefeated in conference play, for the first time since 2013. It was also the first time in program history Marquette has beaten two ranked opponents in the same season.

“I am so incredibly proud of Coach Theis and the girls he has brought in,” senior Jenna Rosenthal said. “It’s such a huge win for the program because we haven’t done this since 2013, this was before my time.
