Here are some notes from Marquette volleyball’s (15-6, 9-1 Big East) latest undefeated week:
Ace(s) from the line
It is a — perhaps the — staple of Ryan Theis’ coaching philosophy to serve aggressively.
He emphasizes the importance of applying pressure from the service line in what feels like every post-win presser, and is quick to fault poor serving as a key shortcoming after most of Marquette’s losses.
Sunday night, Theis likely had few complaints about his team’s serving the past week — the few coming from Friday’s 9-ace 13-error statline.
