Two teams that were in front of Marquette volleyball in last week’s AVCA top 25 poll dropped behind them, and as a result, the Golden Eagles have surged forward. They haven’t moved up two spots but instead have gone ahead three spots in the new rankings, jumping from #19 last week to #16 this week.
Marquette earned 553 points in the voting this time around, earning them an eleven point margin over #17 BYU and their 542 points. That’s pretty narrow stuff, especially when you consider that Creighton is at #15 with 679 points, and that’s way off in the distance from both the Golden Eagles and the Cougars.
