After falling to No. 6 Wisconsin on Friday night, the Marquette Golden Eagles had straight-set victories over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane (25-23, 25-20, 25-18) and the Illinois State Redbirds (25-23, 26-24, 25-17) Saturday.
With junior setter Lauren Speckman out for the day with an injury, freshman Claire Mosher took over starting setting duties for the day.
“It was really crazy,” Mosher said about her first career start. “The coaches came to me this morning and were like, ‘One of our players is hurt, it’s going to be you doing this today.’ I was super excited, but at the same time I was so nervous because Lauren is a great setter, and there were huge shoes to fill.
