Marquette volleyball didn’t forget its brooms.

The Golden Eagles brought with them to the Big Dance in Salt Lake City, along with the jerseys and water bottles and other equipment, their prized sweepers.

They’ve given 17 of their opponents this season a broom in parting, and in a 25-20, 25-22, 25-22 sweep over Florida Gulf Coast Thursday night in the first round of the NCAA tournament, they made it 18.
