The struggles against ranked teams continue.
After going 0-7 against ranked opponents last season in conference play, Marquette volleyball (1-2) is once again struggling against top-25 teams.
The No. 24 ranked Golden Eagles dropped their second straight game, 3-1 (25-21, 16-25, 22-25, 15-25) to the No. 13 Jayhawks of Kansas (5-0) Friday at the Al McGuire Center.
“I thought we won in the first ball, obviously we didn’t have a great fourth set,” head coach Ryan Theis said. “We were out-killing them for a large portion of it, but their transition numbers kept getting better.”
Golden Eagles’ offense can’t keep up
Marquette was on the brink of blowing a late lead in set one.
