Over the weekend, Marquette volleyball suffered their fourth loss of the season and their second loss in Big East play. They fell 3-1 to #24 Creighton on Friday night in a match where the Golden Eagles were not particularly competitive in the final two sets of action. With Marquette spending most of the season hovering just outside the AVCA top 25, I figured a second loss to the Jays, especially with Creighton just barely inside the top 25 themselves, would be enough to end MU’s run as a team earning votes this season.
And I was wrong.
