After an opening weekend where Marquette Golden Eagles volleyball lost to the #24 team in the country and got pushed to five sets by two unranked teams, the second weekend of the season presented an interesting task for the Golden Eagles. Sure, Carsen Murray was back in the lineup after missing the first three matches with a lower leg injury, but Marquette was going to be facing the #25 and #23 teams in the country. What would happen?
As it turns out, the answer was “two losses that had giant red flags attached to them.”
On Friday afternoon, #19 Marquette lost in five sets to #25 Purdue with set scores of 18-25, 25-18, 16-25, 29-27, and 17-15.
