Marquette Volleyball Stays Steady In New Top 25 Poll

This week’s new AVCA volleyball top 25 poll isn’t going to generate much in terms of discussion points on this here internet site. In the new poll, YOUR Marquette are ranked #10, the exact same spot in the poll that they had last week.

Cool!

The Bears are now the #1 team in the country with a perfect 11-0 record, 54 of 64 first place votes, and 1,587 points, giving them a 100+ point cushion between them and #2 Nebraska. That is the best ever ranking in Baylor program history and the first time they’ve ever been ranked #1.

BYU comes in next, and that’s it for teams above the Golden Eagles. Wisconsin is the next highest ranked opponent, staying steady at #13 this week. Big East foe Creighton is ranked #14, same as last week as well. Illinois move up two spots from #20 to #18, and that wraps it up.
