MILWAUKEE, WIS. – Graduate student Maddie Klungel (Napa, Calif.) finished one dig shy of a double-double, but the Seton Hall women's volleyball team fell in three sets at Marquette, 3-0 (18-25, 14-25, 19-25) on Sunday.

The Pirates led by three mid-way through the third set, but a 10-2 run for Marquette put them in position to sweep. Today's loss officially eliminates the Pirates from BIG EAST Tournament contention.

Klungel, the reigning BIG EAST Setter of the Week, finished with 17 assists, nine digs and four kills in another strong all-around performance.

Perri Lucas (Chicago, Ill.) and Madison Loiselle (Tampa, Fla.) led The Hall with seven kills apiece.

SET 1:
Seton Hall scored the first point of the match, but then didn't lead again until the third set. A Marquette service error cut The Hall's deficit to 20-16, but the Golden Eagles responded with three straight points to grab a 23-16 lead. A pair of late kills by Lucas staved off the set loss momentarily, but ultimately The Hall fell, 25-18.
