Make it nine straight.
#14 ranked Marquette volleyball made it very clear why they are the top seed in the Big East tournament on Friday evening, sweeping #5 seed Connecticut, 3-0. The Golden Eagles never let the Huskies touch the 20 point barrier, dispatching them in set scores of 25-16, 25-19, and 25-16. With the win, MU advances to Saturday’s Big East championship match.
The Golden Eagles tilted control of the first set early on, going on a 5-0 run capped by a kill from Ella Foti to take an 8-2 lead. That margin did not stand up for very long as the Huskies pushed back to within three at 11-8 off a termination from Jasmine Davis.
