For the first time in 2019, No. 11 Marquette volleyball could not come back from an early deficit, losing in straight sets to the No. 17 Baylor Bears (25-14, 27-25, 25-16) at the Al McGuire Center Sunday afternoon.
From the start, nothing went right for the Golden Eagles.
Less than 10 minutes into the match, MU took its first timeout trailing 4-0. That momentum never shifted, as the Bears won the first set 25-14 on a 3-0 scoring run.
While the Bears finished with a .360 hitting percentage and three blocks, the Golden Eagles struggled connecting on the attack.
