Big news: YOUR Marquette women’s volleyball team will be starting the 2019 season ranked #16 in the country! The AVCA released their preseason poll on Tuesday, confirming that the Golden Eagles will be ranked to start the year.
Bigger news: Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this is the first time that Marquette will be ranked to start the season. Last year, MU came in receiving votes, but they wouldn’t actually be ranked until September rolled around. The Golden Eagles finished up last season at #15 in the final poll of the year, which was the highest ever ranking in program history.
