No. 19 Marquette sweeps St. John’s in front of trick or treaters

On Saturday afternoon No. 19 Marquette took on St. John’s in front of fans dressed as aliens, witches and even a foot.

The Golden Eagles were able to sweep the Johnnie’s, who is third in the Big East, in straight sets (25-23, 25-16, 25-20) inside the Al McGuire Center.

It was a block party for Marquette as it had a season-high 13 blocks in the match.

“Really liked 13 blocks in three sets,” Marquette head coach Ryan Theis said. “I thought our pin blockers did a pretty good job on set up, our middles did a pretty good job closing, and they make it hard to kill.
