Marquette volleyball started Big East play with a bang.
The Golden Eagles (5-7, 1-0 Big East) used its best offensive and defensive performances of the season to sweep the Villanova Wildcats (9-4, 0-1 Big East) 3-0 (25-18, 25-15, 25-11) Friday night at the Al McGuire Center.
“It was really exciting,” junior middle blocker Hattie Bray said. “The Big East home opener is definitely a fun game to play and it’s great that we’re here.”
The Golden Eagles are now 8-1 at home all-time in conference opening matches.
The wall stands tall
The tallest Wildcats that started were both 6-foot-2 middle blockers.
