Outside hitter Anna Haak elevates for an attack against a double block.
When Marquette last played Creighton at home in early October, the Jays were uncharacteristically out of sorts, allowing Marquette to sweep them. The roles were reversed in Omaha a month later: Creighton showed up to play and Marquette didn’t in a three-set Blue Jay victory.
On the third go-around Saturday with a BIG EAST title on the line, both teams finally brought everything they had to bear on each other. For five sets, a kill for one side was followed by a block on the other.
