Marquette volleyball went through a tough stretch of sets this past week, falling in five sets to Purdue and in four frames to Kansas, both of whom were in the top 25 themselves. With the Golden Eagles holding onto the #19 ranking in last week’s AVCA poll and both the Boilermakers and the Jayhawks ranked in the 20s, it seemed possible that MU could be headed out of the rankings after starting the year at #12.
Nope, Marquette’s at #24 in the Labor Day edition of the top 25. They snagged 169 points this time around, which has them a little closer to #24 Auburn at 146 points than they were to #23 Hawaii.
