ORLANDO, Fla. -- Creighton senior Malvika Shukla earned her 110th career victory to move into a tie for seventh on Creighton's all-time career wins list as the Bluejays swept Cedarville, 7-0, on Monday at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Fla.
With the win, Creighton improved to 6-4 on the year, while former Bluejay Karl Monson and his Cedarville squad fell to 7-4 overall.
The Bluejays quickly earned the first point of the match, sweeping the doubles point with a trio of 6-0 victories.

Senior Bianca Rademacher and junior Siri Kongara also claimed a 6-0 win on the No. 2 doubles court.
In singles play, Creighton captured straight-set wins at all six singles positions to cruise to a 7-0 dual victory.
Negin surrendered just two games while quickly earning a 6-1, 6-1 win at the No. 2 singles position. Shukla followed with a 6-2, 6-0 triumph at the No. 1 singles spot to take a 3-0 edge in the match.
Junior Allison Wilcox then clinched the overall match with a 6-0, 6-0 victory on the No. 5 singles court, before Kongara picked up a 6-1, 6-3 win on the No. 3 singles court.
Freshman Elsa Jurrens captured her first career singles win as she claimed a 6-1, 6-1 win on the No. 6 singles court over Faith Monson, the daughter of the Yellow Jackets head coach. In full circle, Jurrens' mother played at Creighton during the same time frame as Karl Monson.
