Chloe Bell led the way offensively, tying her career-high with 10 kills on a .471 hitting percentage.

On the defensive end, Rashanny Solano Smith collected a match-high 17 digs, while Jones and Kya Harris each registered 1.5 blocks.

The Johnnies battled back to cut the deficit to three at 23-20, prompting a Marquette timeout, but the Golden Eagles held on to take the first set, 25-21.
In the second stanza, St. John's erased an early deficit with a 5-1 run to tie the score at 10-10, and later took its first lead of the match at 13-12. Marquette responded with a decisive 7-1 spurt and pulled away to take the set, 25-15, and a 2-0 lead in the match.
The Golden Eagles carried the momentum into the third set, jumping out to a 7-3 advantage. St. John's continued to push, fending off match point three times late, but Marquette closed out the match with a 25-17 win.
