Cincinnati, OH – The Xavier University Musketeers Women’s Volleyball team is off to a hot start this season! The team is currently 7-1, playing at a very competitive level and dominating their opponents at home and away.
The games can almost take your breath away as these teams are so competitive. The ball seems to never touch the floor once it is in play. The teams can play off some pretty insane and impressive volleys back and forth.
Most recently, the Muskies played Eastern Michigan in the Oakland Tournament winning 3-1. The Muskies won the first set 25-12, lost the second set 25-22, won the third set 25-18, and won the fourth set 25-15!

Last season, the Muskies finished their season with a record of 10-18. They had lost their first 4 games, and have turned that around this season winning the first 6 games already. Last season, the Muskies were 6-5 at home, and 4-8 away. They were also 8-10 in conference games. So far this season, the Muskies are 3-0 at home and 1-1 away.
