Hope Werch led a four-pack of Golden Eagles with double digit kill totals on Friday afternoon as Marquette picked up the 3-0 (25-23, 25-17, 25-17) victory over Texas State. It was match #1 of the season, so MU moves to 1-0 on the season.
As you can see from that 25-23 score, the first set was fairly close. The lead was never more than two points in either direction the whole time, which includes when the Golden Eagles went on a 4-0 run midway through the frame. A 3-0 MU burst a little later seemed to be the difference in the proceedings as Texas State never scored two points in a row the rest of the way.
