Marquette falls out of AVCA volleyball top 25 poll following winless start

Marquette is no longer earning votes in the AVCA top 25 volleyball poll after beginning the regular season with an 0-2 record. The Golden Eagles opened their campaign with a five-set loss to Texas, followed by a defeat against Dayton. Because the team failed to secure a win in either match, voters removed them from the rankings this week. The program currently sits outside the top 25 list, which requires a minimum of two ballots to appear. Marquette faces a difficult upcoming schedule, including matches against No. 4 Stanford and other ranked opponents. The team travels to California this weekend to play South Florida on September 5 and Stanford on September 6 at Maples Pavilion.
