Austin, Texas - Led by a combined 43 points from freshman Audrey Faber (25) and senior Marissa Janning (18), the Creighton women's basketball team opened the Lone Star Showcase with a dominant 91-66 win over East Carolina on Thursday, Nov. 26.
The win lifted Creighton to 3-1 on the season, while East Carolina dropped to 5-1.
The opening two minutes of the game set the tone for the night as Creighton bolted out to an 8-0 lead on treys from Janning and Faber surrounding a floating jumper from sophomore Sydney Lamberty. East Carolina rallied to back within one possession on three separate occasions, the final one at 14-11 (2:48), but Faber collected the final six points to push the Bluejays' edge to 20-11 at the break.
Faber continued to dominate in the opening moments of quarter number two, scoring back-to-back buckets to give Creighton a 24-11 lead at the 9:19 mark. Faber went on to score 15 points in the first half, going 6-for-6 from the field in her first start as a Bluejay.
Up 45-31 at the half, Creighton pushed its lead to 24 (67-43) as the Bluejays shot a blistering 66.7% from the field in the second half.
Joining Faber and Janning in double figures were sophomores Lamberty and Jade Owens.
