WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A year after making the first Sweet 16 in program history, Marquette came up short of making its second Sweet 16 Saturday, losing in four sets against the No. 16-seeded Purdue Boilermakers (22-25, 25-16, 25-17, 25-13).
“Our team was full of fight,” Marquette head coach Ryan Theis said. “This group has just an absolute ton of heart. … Obviously you want that one, and that hurts. But I’m just proud of our team, this season we’ve had, the year and the seniors who have been so wonderful for four years.
