NOTABLE:

Marquette's 12-1 start is its best since the program began in 1975.
The Golden Eagles hold a 10-3 series lead over the Huskies and have won the last seven matchups. MU swept UConn in the previous contest in the BIG EAST semifinals last fall.
MU hit a match-high .433 (16-3-30) in the first set, led by five kills from Hamilton (.714, 5-0-7).
The Golden Eagles closed the second set with the final four points and took five of six points after calling a timeout with the frame knotted at 20.
An 11-1 run midway through the third stanza spurred MU on its way to the sweep. MU trailed 9-6 before the run and closed the set with three of the final four points.
MU concludes its season-long 10-match homestand this weekend at the Al.
