Coming off Friday night’s win against Georgetown, Marquette volleyball did what it had to do against Villanova Saturday night, winning in five sets (25-14, 27-25, 25-10, 25-20, 15-11).
The Golden Eagles sought revenge on the Wildcats Friday night, easily winning the first set 25-14. The Golden Eagles took a 10-7 lead in the second set, but the Wildcats quickly caught up to tie it at 22-22. The Wildcats began to pull away and took the second set 27-25 despite multiple Marquette timeouts.
Marquette head coach Ryan Theis said the second set was the Golden Eagles’ worst serving set.
