The Marquette volleyball team celebrated more than a victory at the Al McGuire Center Saturday night as graduate student Hope Werch made history.
Werch became the program’s all-time leader in career aces during the Golden Eagles’ straight set sweep (25-10, 25-18, 25-14) over the Providence Friars.
“I was kinda nervous because the banner has been behind me for about a week or two and I knew if I was going to get it in and get it aggressive at some point it would happen,” Werch said. ”
“It was pretty cool,” Werch said. “We’ve had that banner up for a couple weeks so it’s been something that when it came to my attention that I was close, that ‘woah, I could actually do something kind of cool.
