What’s the saying, again? Oh ya, there’s no place like home.

Just ask Marquette volleyball.

In a match that served as both the Golden Eagles’ (5-5, 1-0 Big East) first match inside the Al McGuire Center since Sept. 8 and their Big East opener, they came away with a sweep (25-19, 25-10, 27-25) over previously undefeated UConn (12-1, 0-1 Big East) Friday night.

There was no Dorothy. No pair of red slippers, little dog or magic at play.
