Less than one week after sweeping St. John’s in Milwaukee, the No. 16 Marquette Golden Eagles downed the Red Storm for the second straight time Friday during the BIG EAST Tournament Semifinals. The Golden Eagles finished off the Red Storm in four sets (16-25, 25-23, 25-16, 25-19).
Much of the first set had both teams trading points until St. John’s took a commanding 13-7 lead. Though Marquette attempted to fight back and even won a challenged play, the Golden Eagles were unsuccessful in their comeback. The Red Storm hit their best of the afternoon at 0.429 and handily took the first set 25-16.
