Marquette volleyball put themselves into a tie for first place in the Big East on Friday night with a 3-0 (25-21, 25-14, 25-21) win over Providence. It was the league opener for both squads, and thus Marquette starts out 1-0 and PC drops to 0-1.
It took #21 Marquette a moment to put the engine in gear, but when they did, there was really nothing stopping them from getting the sweep. Providence showed signs of life in the first, evening out the contest at 21 points apiece, which made you wonder about how the rest of the night at Alumni Hall was going to go.
