VB Secures Senior Day Sweep of Seton Hall

MILWAUKEE, Wis. - The Marquette University women's volleyball team (15-9, 9-5 BIG EAST) used a dominant senior day performance to take down Seton Hall (6-19, 0-14 BIG EAST) Sunday afternoon at the Al McGuire Center.

Marquette was led by Natalie Ring and Hattie Bray, who each finished with 11 kills in the sweep. Bray hit an efficient .474 and added a team-high six blocks, while Ring contributed eight digs and one block. Emma Parks chipped in eight kills, and Elena Radeff posted four kills on .500 hitting along with four blocks. Setter Isabela Haggard guided the offense with 24 assists, seven digs, and two blocks, and Adriana Studer added 12 digs and three service aces to pace the back row.

Marquette rallied from an early deficit, trailing 8-4. From there, the Golden Eagles used a 7-1 run sparked by Ring's attack and a key block from Bray and Haggard to seize control. Parks added a pair of late kills, and Bray and Radeff teamed up for the clinching block to give Marquette a 1-0 lead in the match with a 25-20 opening-set win.

The Golden Eagles raced out to a 10-4 lead behind strong serving from Studer, who delivered three aces during a decisive run. Bray and Parks each contributed multiple kills as Marquette's offense stayed efficient, while the front line, led by Bray and Radeff, controlled play at the net. MU completed a 25-11 set two win to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the match with a service ace from senior Ally Eckel.

The Blue and Gold built an early cushion behind efficient attacking from Bray, notching three straight kills during a mid-set surge, and Marquette's blocking continued to disrupt Seton Hall's rhythm. Late contributions from seniors Sienna Ifill and Allie Korba helped close it out as Marquette secured the match with a 25-16 set three win.
