After downing #11 Kentucky on Friday night to start the 2022 season in a big way, Marquette volleyball had one mission: Don’t screw up the impending national ranking. MU earned votes in the preseason AVCA top 25 poll, and with a win over the preseason #11 team, all they had to do was still be unbeaten when the votes had to be sent in to get into the top 25.
That meant beating Ohio in a relatively empty Memorial Coliseum in Lexington less than 24 hours after the match with Kentucky. Perhaps not the most ideal circumstances, but if you’re good enough to beat Kentucky, Ohio should be a relatively easy production.
