HOUSTON, Texas - No. 2 Louisville swept No. 6 Marquette, 3-0 (30-21, 30-24,30-25) in the semifinals of the 2001 Healthy Choice C-USA Volleyball Tournament on Saturday at Hofheinz Pavilion. The Cardinals improve to 22-5 overall and advance to their fourth consecutive C-USA Tournament finals and fifth in school history on Sunday at 2 p.m. They will face the winner of the No. 1 Cincinnati/No. 5 DePaul semifinal matchup.

"We were more composed today than we were in the opening match," said Louisville head coach Leonid Yelin. "We didn't take Marquette for granted because they beat us in the regular season and we watched them play a good match against South Florida last night."

Anastasia Zaitseva paced the Cardinals, firing a match-high 21 kills and 11 digs, while Sonja Percan and Lesley Drury added 12 and 10 kills, repectively. Defensively, Stacey Mercer nabbed a match-high six block assists.

Marquette's combo of Vesna Grbavac and Meghan Devine both notched 13 kills and seven digs to lead the Golden Eagles. All-Freshman Jennifer Amobi compiled eight kills, while Gemma Greer nabbed 39 assists.
