The Marquette volleyball team huddles up before their home opener against Loyola-Chicago. Marquette defeated Butler in their BIG EAST opener.

Marquette volleyball opened BIG EAST play in dominant fashion with an 3-0 (25-21, 25-21, 25-20) sweep over Butler on Wednesday night.

Similar to Marquette’s match against Southern Miss, the Golden Eagles had a balanced offensive attack with Anna Haak getting 12 kills, Hope Werch recording eight kills and Allie Barber recording seven.

“I thought Jenna (Rosenthal) was big, not only from a points perspective, but she made some really smart plays and block moves at the net throughout the night,” Marquette head coach Ryan Theis said to gomarquette.
