No. 16 Marquette outlasts DePaul in five-set victory

After going 2-0 over the weekend, the No. 16 Marquette women’s volleyball team was back in action as they took on their I-94 rivals in the DePaul Blue Demons at the McGrath-Phillips Arena.

And though it took five sets (32-30, 25-18, 25-20, 19-25, 15-8), Marquette was able to earn its 19th win of the season and sweep the regular season series with DePaul.

The first set was a marathon between the two sides. After falling behind 21-16, Marquette would rally back to tie the match at 22-22.

Each side had several chances to end the set much earlier as there were seven set points throughout the back half of the frame.
