After an uncomplicated sweep of Wright State on Thursday in Marquette’s Al McGuire Center, #5 seed Georgia Tech got swept by the hosts on Friday in frustrating fashion (25-23, 25-20, 25-19). The first set was certianly winnable, with Tech up 23-22 before allowing three straight points and having been up 6-2 early in the set. The score was tied seven times leading up to the 23-22 lead. Jenna Reitsma’s block of Erin Moss sealed the set for the #4 seed and AVCA 16th ranked Golden Eagles.
Ella Foti in the second set hit back-to-back kills followed by a return error by Julia Bergmann to give Marquette a 19-15 lead, providing a wide enough gap en route to their 25-20 set win.
