Women’s club volleyball had its worst finish in history at the NCVF National Championship tournament in Louisville, Kentucky last weekend. Marquette came in 20th place in the 48-team Division I bracket, making it to the semi-finals of the silver bracket before losing to Kansas.

The team, which entered the tournament ranked No. 2 in the country, fell flat on the big stage.

“Personally, I had such high expectations for this team and the outcome was not what I had planned for,” senior club president Maria De Valk said in an email.
