VILLANOVA, PENNSYLVANIA — No. 12 Marquette traveled to Pennsylvania Friday and took home a sweep over BIG EAST foe Villanova (25-22, 25-22, 25-19).
“It was just a really good team performance tonight,” head coach Ryan Theis said. “There were two huge points where kids stepped in and did their jobs, and it was awesome.”
Marquette got out to a slow start in the first set.
“(There were situations where junior) Martha (Konovodoff) was in position to make a dig, dug it a little low, the second touch went nuts,” Theis said. “We overpassed a ball we normally don’t, they went to throw it out of bounds, (senior Allie) Barber touched it.
