Saturday was the kind of match Ryan Theis wanted his team to play on its three-games-in-three-days road trip.
Especially when Marquette volleyball had less than 24 hours to recover from a five-set slog vs. Seton Hall Friday, and with its final game of the stretch still left to play tomorrow.
Before leaving for the East Coast, Theis emphasized how important quick and efficient play would be for the Golden Eagles to stay fresh and aid recovery amidst the taxing slate.
While their 3-2 win over the Pirates can only be described as the opposite of that, their 3-0 sweep — despite a close second set — over the Princeton Tigers (8-10) was Theis’ words in action.
