Twenty-Four hours after defeating No. 11 Kentucky, Marquette brought that same fire Saturday in its three-set sweep (25-17, 25-16 and 25-15) of the Ohio Bobcats.
The first set was all Marquette, with the Golden Eagles jumping out to an early 5-0 lead and not looking back. After extending its lead to seven, the Marquette ended on a 5-1 run to take the frame 25-17.
Sophomore outside hitter Jenna Reitsma and junior Carsen Murray combined for eight of Marquette’s 16 kills in the set.
The second set was more contested as the opening frame, with both teams trading points back-and-forth.
