Maddie Schermerhorn steps behind the service line and exhales, Purdue had just taken a one-point lead after tying it up four different times at the end of the set. The senior has been here before, she’s prepared for moments like this. She tosses the ball and jump serves it right across the net as the ball lands between three defenders. Ace. The entire gym erupts and the Boilers take the set 26-24 and clinch a spot in the sweet 16.
#23 Marquette Women’s Basketball Preview: vs Penn
I missed the memo about Marquette women’s basketball’s start to the season. When they beat Memphis, I said, “hey, 7-0, that’s pretty good, this is the best start since when in program history?” In search of the answer, I went sifting through the MU record book and when I realized that Marquette had started last season 5-0, I realized that things were about to look very silly for me. Now, in my defense, that 5-0 start was in the middle of the Battle 4 Atlantis, which was itself in the middle of the volleyball team playing Creighton for a Big East regular season title AND men’s basketball in the Rocket Mortgage Tip-Off, so I feel like I can’t be blamed for that bit not sticking over the last year.
