The No. 10-ranked Golden Eagles defeated the Seton Hall Pirates (25-19, 25-17, 25-13) Friday night in its seventh sweep of 2019.
Marquette didn’t have any trouble in the first set, going on multiple scoring runs for a 9-4 lead and 16-10 lead before eventually winning the opening set 25-19. While Marquette combined for a .256 clip, the team’s four blocks held Seton Hall to a .163 hitting percentage.
“A couple of plays here and there we got in better positions,” head coach Ryan Theis said. “Their hitters maybe made a couple more mistakes.”
MU’s defense was more efficient in the second frame, recording two blocks in the first three points.
