11/7/2019 11:22:00 AM | WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL
CHICAGO - The Blue Demons, currently 11-13 (3-9 BIG EAST) on the season, are set to travel to Marquette for a 7 p.m. contest Friday, Nov. 8 before hosting the Golden Eagles Saturday, Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. at McGrath-Phillips Arena.
FROM COACH ZIDEK
"These matches are what makes summer workouts and all of the hard work when no one is watching easy," said head coach Marie Zidek. "Marquette has put together a banner year that is the result of the past decade of program building by the department and staff. This year has been one of their on the backs of their core leadership group in Speckman, Konovodoff, Barber, Orf and Werch. With the addition of transfers Jones and Lines, they really are one of the more complete teams in the country right now offensively and defensively that's competed well. That said, our group is ready for this test. We look forward to big moments and every opportunity equally. Practices have been great, and we look forward for the chance to play them twice this weekend. Really excited about the improvement and progress this group has made, and we will keep putting ourselves in competitive points, sets, and matches."
