For the Golden Eagles, it was the first program win over Wisconsin in program history.
Wisconsin won the first two games 25-22, but Marquette was able to hang tough in the third set, claiming a 29-27 overtime victory. In the fourth game, Marquette was down 30-29, but Allie Barber had one of her match-high 22 kills to even up the scoring before two errors gave the Golden Eagles an epic 32-30 win in the fourth set.
The Golden Eagles won the decisive fifth set 15-9, the last score a kill by Barber to seal Marquette's first-ever win over Wisconsin in six tries.
