Marquette volleyball head coach Ryan Theis did the right thing, we have to say that up front.
But his decision to do the right thing extended Friday night’s match against Xavier to a fourth set before the Golden Eagles closed out a 3-1 (22-25, 25-12, 25-22, 25-20) victory. The win gets Marquette to 16-1 in the Big East and 25-2 overall as they run their winning streak to 10 straight matches, the second time this season that they have won at least 10 consecutive contests. The 16-1 record means that MU is one game behind 17-0 Creighton in the league standings with one game left to play, and wouldn’t you know it?
