It would have been tough to find anyone, even the most optimistic Marquette volleyball fan, that could have predicted this.
Just under a year removed from losing almost every significant starter from last season, the Golden Eagles (13-5 overall) haven’t taken a single step backward. Instead, they’ve reeled off an eight-match winning streak, including the first seven matches of conference play. The cherry on top was a straight-sets victory over the then-No. 12 Creighton Blue Jays, the program’s first since 2013.
Any discussion of Marquette volleyball’s season has to start with sophomore outside hitter Allie Barber, who is having a historic season.
