CINCINNATI - The Xavier volleyball team closes out the regular season at home against Marquette and No. 6 Creighton.

Xavier dropped both matches on the road to both teams earlier this season.

The Musketeers are currently tied with Villanova for sixth place in the BIG EAST standings. The Wildcats have the head-to-head tiebreaker, so XU will need one more win than them this weekend to earn a spot in the BIG EAST Tournament.

Sunday's match will serve as the program's Senior Day where Xavier will recognize Lucia Corsaro, Logan Flaugh, Emma Grace, Sarah Stevens, Anna Taylor and manager Matt Ellison.
