No. 16 Marquette gets back in the win column with win over Xavier

No. 16 Marquette (16-2, 7-1 East) went into the Cintas Center to take on Xavier (11-7, 4-4 Big East) Sunday afternoon looking to re-enter the win column following its first Big East loss of the season Friday at No. 21 Creighton.

And the Golden Eagles did just that, sweeping the Musketeers (28-26, 25-22, 25-).

The first set was back and forth between both sides, until late in the set when Xavier went on a 3-0 run to reach set point 24-20. Marquette stormed back going on an 8-2 run to take the set 28-26.
