Marquette opens up Homecoming Weekend with four-set win over UConn

Marquette volleyball team kicked off homecoming weekend with a four-set win over UConn (25-22,12-25,25-22,25-9) Friday evening at the Al McGuire Center.

It’s the first time that Marquette has played UConn since 2012 as they didn’t play each other last season in the Huskies first season back in the BIG EAST since leaving it in 2013.

“I thought UConn put stress on you. I thought that would be the case coming in and that’s exactly what they did,” Marquette head coach Ryan Theis said. “They put the pressure on you from the service line, their setter puts a lot of stress on defensively, some good attackers over there so we definitely were prepared.
