Coming into last season, Marquette women’s volleyball had never lost to St. John’s twice in the same season. However, the Red Storm changed that last November, when they bested the Golden Eagles in five sets in the semifinals of the Big East Tournament at the Al McGuire Center.
The other loss? Another five-set heartbreaker in Queens at the hands of St. John’s last October. A match in which after dropping the first frame, the Golden Eagles commanded the second and third sets to take a 2-1 set lead.
