For the first time in 2021, Marquette volleyball could not come back from an early deficit, losing in straight sets to the No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats (25-21, 30-28 and 26-24) at the Al McGuire Center Saturday night.
“We scored some points against a really good team and I was pretty pleased with that,” head coach Ryan Theis said. “I’m proud of that effort and I think we can learn and grow from it quite a bit. We just have to be cleaner but Kentucky puts pressure on you and so hats off (to them).”
Saturday night’s match marked the first time fans were in the stands at the Al McGuire Center in nearly two years.
