CHICAGO — It was like all of Marquette volleyball’s worst nightmares happened at once. As though one bad thing wasn’t enough.
First came a 25-17 loss in the opening frame. Next was a 4-0 DePaul run to wipe lead 9-5, erasing the Golden Eagles’ advantage, and any proof it once existed. Finally, the last thing anyone in the blue & gold wanted — nay, needed — to happen, happened.
Hattie Bray went down with what appeared to be a right ankle injury, not returning for the rest of the match.
Given the circumstances, Marquette could perhaps be forgiven if it went on to lose the second set and then the match.
