As we elaborated in the preview for Sunday’s Marquette volleyball match, there was a lot on the line for the Golden Eagles in Omaha against #17 Creighton.
Apparently “we can get revenge for a sweep loss in Milwaukee” was a much better motivation as the Bluejays kind of blew the #25 ranked Golden Eagles off the floor for two straight sets and held on to beat Marquette in the third for the 3-0 result. With that officially on the board, Marquette, Creighton, and St. John’s are all tied atop the Big East standings at 12-2 with four matches each to play.
