On Saturday, Creighton heads to Washington, D.C., to face Georgetown (11-6, 3-3 BIG EAST) in another 5 p.m. Central match. That contest will take place at McDonough Gymnasium.

Villanova hosts Georgetown on Wednesday night before both teams welcome Creighton to town.

Scouting Creighton

Creighton is 10-8 on the season against the nation's 10th-toughest schedule and are part of a three-way tie atop the BIG EAST standings with a 5-1 league record. The Jays own a pair of wins over Top 25 teams, and the 12-time defending BIG EAST regular-season champions have won 52 of their past 53 league contests.

Six Bluejays average at least 1.35 kills per set, with Ayden Ames leading the way with 2.49 kills per set. The junior has averaged 3.22 kills per set since moving to outside hitter on Sept. 20th, with the Jays going 5-2 in that time.

Abbey Hayes (2.18 kps.) is also worth keeping an eye on. The Preseason All-BIG EAST choice hit .377 and averaged 3.57 kills per set in two wins last weekend.

Katie Dalton (7.94 aps.) has started 16 of CU's 18 contests at setter and leads the club with four double-doubles.

Libero Saige Damrow (4.43 dps.) ranks second in the BIG EAST in digs per set, and Eloise Brandewie (1.22 bps.) tops a strong blocking unit.

As a team, Creighton averages 12.28 kills, 14.33 digs, 2.55 blocks and 1.47 aces per set on .201 hitting.

Scouting Villanova

Villanova is 9-8 this season and 2-4 in BIG EAST play. The Wildcats are 2-0 in BIG EAST home contests but winless in four road tilts in league play.

Campbell McKinnon (3.30 kps., .321%, 0.94 bps.) leads the Wildcats offensively, as Preseason BIG EAST Player of the Year Abby Harrell (3.03 kps.) has battled injuries and been in and out of the line-up.

Alyssa Nelson (7.03 aps.), Selah O'Connor (3.71 aps.) and Ava Harris (3.49 aps.) have all seen reps at setter. Nelson also leads the team with 149 overall digs (2.26 dps.), but Mina Diggs has topped the team with 3.55 digs per set in BIG EAST play.

The Wildcats, who were picked second in the preseason BIG EAST poll, average 12.82 kills, 12.48 digs, 1.85 blocks and 1.45 aces per set while hitting .210 as a team.

Series History vs. Villanova

Creighton is 24-3 all-time vs. Villanova, and has won each of the last 10 meetings since a Wildcat victory on Nov. 8, 2019.

CU has swept Villanova each of the last five meetings at Jake Nevin Fieldhouse.

Brian Rosen is 2-0 all-time against Villanova and coach Josh Steinbach, while Steinbach is 3-24 all-time against Creighton.

Scouting Georgetown

Georgetown is 11-6 on the season and 3-3 in league play after picking up a 3-2 win at DePaul on Saturday.

Dionna Mitchell (2.86 kps.), Kamryn Lee-Caracci (2.75 kps.), Berkeley Pioder (2.41 kps.) and Katherine McGregor (2.03 kps.) all average multiple kills per set.

Juleigh Urbina (7.72 aps.) directs the offense, and Bella McGirr (4.09 dps.) is the libero.

The Hoyas average 12.72 kills, 13.30 digs, 2.13 blocks and 1.23 aces per set while hitting .237 as a team.

Series History vs. Georgetown

Creighton is 24-0 all-time against Georgetown, dropping just seven sets in those contests. It's Creighton's most meetings against any opponent without a loss.

In 2015, Creighton lost the first two sets before ultimately saving two match points in a 3-2 road victory. In 2017 Creighton trailed 2-1 in the match before pulling out a 15-13 win in the fifth set after it trailed in the last set by scores of 5-0 and 13-12.

Creighton has won 23 straight sets against GU in Washington, D.C., and 34 straight sets against the Hoyas at all sites. In the most recent meeting last Nov. 9, Creighton never trailed and was never tied in a wire-to-wire win.

Brian Rosen is 2-0 against Georgetown and 2-0 against AJ Bonetti, while Bonetti is 0-6 all-time against Creighton.

Creighton Coaches

Brian Rosen is in his second season as Creighton head coach, where his 38-14 record with the Bluejays moves his career mark to 83-31 after four seasons. He is 23-1 all-time against BIG EAST teams, winning 71-of-81 sets.

Rosen was named the fourth head coach in modern Creighton Volleyball history on April 6, 2025, as he was promoted following the departure of 22-year head coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth. He became the BIG EAST's first rookie head coach since 2014 to win 20+ matches in his first year in the league, the only rookie head coach in league history to win multiple NCAA Tournament matches, and the first new coach to win 28+ matches in his first season.

Named the 2024 AVCA National Assistant Coach of the Year, Rosen served as a Creighton assistant from 2022-24, during which time CU went 88-13, swept the BIG EAST regular-season and tournament tiles each fall, and defeated 10 Top 25 opponents.

Rosen led Creighton to the BIG EAST regular-season and Tournament titles in 2025 and a return to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.

The 2008 South Carolina grad went 45-17 as head coach at Division II Nova Southeastern from 2019-21, though the 2020 season was cancelled due to COVID-19 without playing a match.

Rosen is assisted by Angie Oxley Behrens, Adam Kessenich and Izzy Ashburn.

With A Win...

With a win on Friday, Creighton would...

- Improve to 25-3 all-time against Villanova with its 11th straight victory over the Wildcats.

- Improve to 210-17 all-time in regular-season BIG EAST matches.

- Improve to 233-19 against BIG EAST opponents (including conference tournament action) since joining the league in 2013.

- Win its 26th straight BIG EAST road match.

- Tie a season-high with its third straight win.

- Earn its senior class with its 100th victory (in 122 matches) since the start of the 2023 season.

Milestone Watch

Ayden Ames owns 478 kills (179 at CU) and is 22 shy of 500 in her career.

Eloise Brandewie has 596 career kills (273 at CU) and stands four shy of 600. Brandewie is also three sets played shy of 400.

Katie Dalton owns 87 career kills (37 at CU) and is 13 shy of 100.

Abbey Hayes owns 368 kills and is 32 short of 400.

Sophomore Ashlyn Paymal has 88 career kills and is a dozen shy of 100.

Trinity Shadd-Ceres has 195 career kills (173 at Creighton), putting her five away from 200.

Their Wurtz Nightmare

Nora Wurtz gave Villanova and Georgetown fits with her serve last year, accounting for 21 aces in four total matches (two each vs. VU and GU).

Wurtz set Creighton's school-record with nine aces in the regular-season finale against Georgetown

Wurtz's 21 aces against VU/GU came with just six serving errors in 69 service attempts, which means a whopping 30.4 percent of her serves against the Wildcats and Hoyas were aces.

Creighton won 48 of the 69 points she served in those four matches, including 32-of-40 against Georgetown.

How important is the ace battle? Each of Creighton's last 29 regular-season BIG EAST matches have been won by the team with more aces.

New Kid On The Block

Cambel Drapeau made her collegiate debut in Sunday's match, checking in late in the second set to flip the momentum after Creighton started to see its sizeable lead dwindle.

The freshman helped settle things down and ended the match with four blocks and three kills in seven swings. Her four blocks are tied for fourth-most in history in a Creighton debut.

Drapeau is the first Bluejay to make her season debut in CU's 18th match or later since Brittany Moon made her only appearance of the 2012 season in CU's 27th contest of the fall. Lauren Bloemke's only appearance in 2010 came in CU's 28th match. Like Moon, Bloemke's appearance came on Senior Day.

Before Drapeau, CU's last player to make their season debut on a non-Senior Day was Jadee Tanabe, who did so in CU's 21st match of the 2003 season.

Ames Honored Again

Ayden Ames was named BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week after helping Creighton Volleyball to a pair of wins last weekend. It's the second time this season that Ames has been recognized, as she became the first player in league history to earn Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week at the same time on Aug. 31 following a pair of top 25 wins to open the season.

Ames averaged 3.71 kills per set while hitting .381. She also contributed six digs, three blocks and two aces. She was sixth in the league in kills per set and eighth in hitting percentage.

The junior from Prosper, Texas, opened her week with eight kills on .280 hitting as Creighton posted its first home sweep of the season against Butler on Friday. The victory helped Creighton avoid consecutive losses in conference play for the first time since 2011.

On Sunday in a rematch of last year's BIG EAST Tournament final, Ames pounded a career-high 18 kills and hit .447. She also tied her career-highs with five digs and two aces as the Bluejays topped BIG EAST co-leader Xavier in four sets.

During her big week, Ames took over the CU lead with 179 kills and is now hitting .284 on the season.

Ames Aims Higher

Ayden Ames is having a breakthrough season offensively. After owning just two matches of 10 or more kills as a starter at Texas from 2024-25, Ames has turned it up a notch with Creighton.

Ames has delivered 10 or more kills in nine matches this season, including six of her past eight contests. She's done that despite moving from middle blocker to outside hitter, a position the junior had not played since high school.

Seniors Near 100 Wins

Creighton's fourth-year seniors Sydney Breissinger, Jaya Johnson and Ava TeStrake are approaching 100 victories in a Bluejay uniform.

The trio is 99-22 since arriving in 2023 and one win shy of becoming the eighth senior class to win 100 matches in a four-year span. Against BIG EAST foes, the trio are 31-1 in home matches and have dropped just nine sets.

The Race Back To Sokol

D.J. Sokol Arena will host the BIG EAST Tournament in late November, and it's shaping up to be quite a race to be in the four-team field for the nation's No. 5-ranked league.

Seven teams are between 3-3 and 5-1 in the standings, a group that doesn't include a Villanova team that is 2-4 and was picked to finish second.

Both Creighton and Marquette have been in the BIG EAST Tournament field all previous 13 seasons since the league's 2013 reconfiguration.

Also at stake? The best seed not named Creighton will be in line to host the 2027 BIG EAST Tournament since league rules prevent the same team from hosting in consecutive seasons. Friday could go a long way towards deciding that site, as the two teams besides Creighton that enter the week 5-1 -- Marquette and St. John's -- meet in Queens on Friday night.

Paymal Plays Well

Ashlyn Paymal had nine kills her entire freshman season but continues to flourish as her playing time grows in 2026.

Paymal had career-highs with eight kills and seven blocks on Oct. 2 against DePaul.

She more than doubled that offensive output on Oct. 4 against Marquette, finishing with 18 kills while hitting a career-high .562 in 32 errorless-swings. It was the second-most kills by a player in Creighton history without an error.

Doesn't Happen Often

Creighton doesn't lose many BIG EAST matches, and when they do, it generally means bad things for upcoming opponents.

The Bluejays are now 17-0 all-time coming off a regular-season BIG EAST loss and have not lost consecutive matches in league play since dropping three Missouri Valley Conference matches in a row in 2011.

Seven of the previous 17 times that Creighton Volleyball has lost a BIG EAST match, the Bluejays embarked on a league win streak of 11 or more.

Here's a look at Creighton's BIG EAST losses, followed by its ensuing match.

Getting Better and Better

It's scary to see the numbers for Creighton's BIG EAST matches compared to its 12 non-conference matches. The Bluejay numbers are up across the board on the offensive end.

Creighton was last in the BIG EAST in hitting percentage (.162) entering league play, but currently is first in conference action (.292).

Creighton has played four matches to go five sets as well as just four three-set matches. This year's team is playing 4.00 sets per match, above the previous program high of 3.89 sets per match done in both 1996 and 1997.

From 1994-2025, the Bluejays played 3,532 sets in 973 matches, an average of 3.63 sets per match. Creighton had 111 sweeps from 2021-25 (and was swept just seven times), but has just one 3-0 win this fall.

Home Sweet Home

Creighton is in its 14th season as a member of the BIG EAST since joining the league in the summer of 2013.

Since then, the Bluejays are 123-5 in home matches against BIG EAST teams (112-4 in the regular-season, 11-1 in the BIG EAST Tournament).

Since the start of the 2015 season, Creighton is 107-2 inside D.J. Sokol Arena against BIG EAST teams, which includes a 97-2 mark in league play and a 10-0 mark in the conference tournament.

Put another way, since enrolling at Creighton in the fall of 2023, fourth-year Bluejay seniors Sydney Breissinger, Jaya Johnson and Ava TeStrake are 31-1 in home matches against BIG EAST teams, and 95-9 in sets.

BIG EAST'S Best

Since the reconfiguration of the BIG EAST in the summer of 2013, Creighton, Marquette and St. John's are the only teams to win any sort of BIG EAST volleyball title.

Creighton owns 12 regular-season titles (3 shared) in that time, while Marquette owns four regular-season (3 shared) crowns.

As it relates to BIG EAST Tournament titles, Creighton has won 11, Marquette one and St. John's one since 2013.

Below is a look at the record of each BIG EAST team since league realignment in 2013:

Against The BIG EAST

Since the BIG EAST was restructured in 2013, Creighton owns a winning percentage better than .800 against each of the other teams currently in the BIG EAST.

The Bluejays own 232 wins against BIG EAST competition (including BIG EAST Championship play) since 2013, 40 more wins than Marquette for most in the league.

CU still has not lost to three league foes (DePaul, Georgetown, Providence) since joining the BIG EAST, and Marquette (7), Villanova (3), Seton Hall (3) and St. John's (3) are the only BIG EAST programs to top the Bluejays multiple times since 2013.

12 Straight BIG EAST Regular-Season Titles

Creighton (2014-25) is the first team in BIG EAST volleyball history to win 12 straight regular-season titles. The previous record had been seven by Notre Dame from 1999-2005.

The Bluejay volleyball team is also the first Creighton program in any sport to win more than five straight league titles, more than doubling the previous high of five in a row by the men's soccer program (1992-96) in the MVC.

The only other volleyball team nationally with an active streak of more than six straight regular-season league titles is Kentucky, which won its ninth consecutive SEC crown last year.

Creighton's 12 straight regular-season titles rank third-longest in NCAA history, trailing only Florida's 18 straight SEC titles from 1991-2008 and Hawaii's 16 consecutive WAC crowns from 1996-2011.

Early Losses Have Rewards

Creighton is 10-8 on the young season and finished non-conference play 5-7, but past history has shown that's actually a good omen for future success.

Last year's team started 5-5, including a loss to No. 1 Nebraska in the 10th match, before closing out non-conference play with two home matches, including a nationally-ranked foe on Sunday (No. 17 Kansas). That team went from 5-5 to 28-6 thanks to a 23-match win streak that eventually saw CU return to the Elite Eight.

Before last fall, the last previous time that Creighton lost five or more non-conference matches was in 2016, when the Jays were 6-6 before winning 23 matches in a row en route to an Elite Eight trip. In 2015, Creighton started 5-7 in non-conference play before winning 22 of its next 23 matches. That season ended with CU's first trip to the Sweet 16.

Defense!

Creighton's defense continues to thrive, holding foes to .180 hitting this fall.

That includes holding Northern Iowa to its lowest hitting percentage (.000) since at least 2006, and No. 1 Nebraska to a season-low .202 after the Huskers entered the match hitting .330 for the year.

CU also held Louisville to .256 hitting, snapping the Cardinals six-match streak of .300 hitting or better.

A St. John's team that hadn't hit below .150 all year hit just .102 against Creighton on Sept. 26.

Creighton has held 114 straight opponents under the .300 mark.

Creighton has led the country in opponents hitting percentage in two of the previous five seasons, doing so in both 2021 (.124) and 2024 (.130). This year's team ranks 62nd, a vast improvement over where it ranked (125th) after non-conference play ended on Sept. 20th when foes were hitting .193.

Perfect, Last Year

Creighton was one of eight teams in the country that did not lose a regular-season conference match last fall. Of those teams, Creighton's four league sets lost trailed only Nebraska (1).

Brian Rosen was the only one of the eight head coaches who had an undefeated conference slate to not win Coach of the Year honors in his/her league, and Rosen was 3-2 against the other teams on this list.

The Streak Ends

Creighton had won 50 straight BIG EAST regular-season matches to establish a program and league record before it was snapped on Oct. 4 vs. Marquette.

It broke the record for the longest streak in BIG EAST history, surpassing the 45 in a row done from Oct. 1, 1999 to Nov. 15, 2002 by Notre Dame.

League Openers

Creighton is 25-8 all-time in conference openers, and 2-0 under Brian Rosen. That includes a 13-1 mark in BIG EAST lid-lifters, with 13 straight wins.

Each of the previous 13 times that Creighton won its league opener (2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025), the Bluejays went on to win the regular-season title, going a combined 211-13 (before 2026) in regular-season league action. Creighton also won 12 conference tournament titles during those years, going 24-1 at the league tournament in those seasons.

In the 23 previous seasons that Creighton has won its conference opener, it has never finished worse than .500 in league play and it owns a combined .798 (340-86) winning percentage in league matches entering 2026.

In the eight years in which Creighton lost its league opener, the Bluejays have had a losing record on five occasions and owns a combined .363 (53-93) winning percentage during league contests.

In conference home openers, Creighton is 27-5 overall with 15 straight wins.

In league road openers, Creighton is 24-9 overall with 13 straight wins.

The last team to win a BIG EAST regular-season or tournament title without winning its regular-season opener in conference play was Cincinnati in the fall of 2008, which will continue beyond 2025. If that holds true again, only Creighton, Butler, DePaul, Marquette, St. John's and Xavier still have hope.

A Closer Look

Though Creighton went 5-7 prior to BIG EAST play, keep in mind that every team on its non-conference schedule finished with a top 45 RPI last season, and the Jays beat three teams that closed last fall in the Top 25.

It's Unanimous

Despite the graduation of All-Americans Ava Martin, Annalea Maeder and Kiara Reinhardt, Creighton was the unanimous pick to win the BIG EAST in a preseason poll of league coaches.

Abbey Hayes, Jaya Johnson and Ayden Ames were all named Preseason All-BIG EAST.

This is the sixth time since 2015 and third year in a row that the Jays have been voted a unanimous favorite to win the BIG EAST.

Creighton has previously been a unanimous favorite in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2024 and 2025 and gone a combined 85-3 in league action in those previous five seasons while sweeping the regular-season and conference titles on each occasion.

29 Kills For Shadd-Ceres

Trinity Shadd-Ceres became the sixth different player in Creighton Volleyball history with 29 or more kills in a match when she did it on Sept. 4 against Arizona. Of those women, Shadd-Ceres' .420 hitting percentage was the second-best mark. Her 29 kills tied a Bluejay Invitational single-match record and were one shy of the D.J. Sokol Arena record.

Top 25 Streak Ends

Creighton's school-record streak of 83 straight weeks as a Top 25 team was snapped when the Jays were listed 30th among those "also receiving votes" in the Sept. 28 poll. The drop came after CU had been 25th on Sept. 21st, then went 2-0 with road wins at Seton Hall and St. John's.

Creighton has been ranked 160 weeks in program history, all since 2012. Thirty-seven of those weeks the Jays have been in the Top 10.

Creighton's 83 weeks in a row being ranked began on Sept. 6, 2021 was a program record, breaking the previous-high of 64 from Oct. 31, 2016 to March 15, 2021.

Ames Made BIG EAST History in First Week

Ayden Ames was named BIG EAST Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week on Aug. 31 after helping the Bluejays to a pair of Top 25 wins to open the season. Ames is the first player in BIG EAST history, as well as Creighton Volleyball history, to be named both the Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week in the same week by the league office.

Ames hit .305 and averaged 1.92 kills, 1.17 blocks and 0.25 digs during her initial week as a Bluejay. The junior from Prosper, Texas, had seven kills and set a Creighton record for most blocks in a debut with seven stuffs in a 3-2 win vs. No. 9 Purdue.

Golden Girl

Creighton junior Ayden Ames spent the summer winning a second straight Pan American Cup Gold Medal with USA Volleyball's U21 team and starting three of the team's five matches, including the final. Ames had 18 kills in 35 swings and hit .400 in the four matches she appeared in.

Production Returns

Creighton returns 9-of-17 letterwinners to the court from last season, including three starters.

From last year's team, Ava Martin, Kiara Reinhardt, Annalea Maeder, Sky McCune, Alivia Hausmann, Sophia Wendlick, Destiny Ndam-Simpson and Emersen Strain are not back.

All told, of the seven categories listed below, Creighton returns 316.2 of a possible 700% back (45.2 percent), the third-smallest amount returning in the past 25 seasons behind only 2009 and 2025.

Below is a breakdown of the production that is back:

Advance In The Dance

Creighton is one of nine schools to appear in the Sweet 16 in each of the last three NCAA Tournaments (2023-25), joining Kentucky, Louisville, Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Stanford, Texas and Wisconsin.

Creighton is one of five schools to be in the Elite Eight in both 2024 and 2025, a list that features Creighton, Kentucky, Nebraska, Pittsburgh and Wisconsin.

Creighton has won a First Round match in the NCAA Tournament in each of the last three seasons (2023-25). Nationally, only 20 schools have done that: Arizona State, Baylor, Creighton, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Marquette, Miami (Fla.), Minnesota, Nebraska, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Purdue, SMU, Stanford, TCU, Texas, USC and Wisconsin.

How Sweet It Is

Creighton has made five Sweet 16s, all of which have come in the 11 seasons from 2015-25. Creighton is one of 46 schools to have made a Sweet 16 since 2015, but only 16 of those teams have been there five times or more in that span.

How Elite Are We?

Creighton and UCLA are the nation's only schools to reach the Elite Eight in women's volleyball (2024 and 2025), women's basketball (2021), men's basketball (2022) and men's soccer (2022) since the start of the 2021-22 academic year. Creighton, UCLA and Kentucky are the nation's only schools to reach the Sweet 16 in those same sports since the start of the 2021-22 academic year.

Replacing Three AVCA All-Americans

Creighton Volleyball had three seniors earn All-America honors from the American Volleyball Coaches Association last season, as Ava Martin and Kiara Reinhardt picked up Second Team honors, and Annalea Maeder was a Third Team choice.

Creighton's three honorees were tied for fifth-most in the nation, trailing only the four women chosen from Kentucky, Nebraska, SMU and Texas A&M.

Last year marked the 14th straight season that Creighton has had at least one All-American, with multiple All-Americans in 10 of the previous 11 campaigns. The only schools with multiple All-Americans each of the past five years are now Creighton, Kentucky, Louisville, Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Stanford and Wisconsin.

Both Martin and Reinhardt were selected in the Major League Volleyball Draft on Nov. 24, 2025. Martin was the second overall section by the Atlanta Vibe, while Reinhardt was selected No. 8 overall in the first round by the Omaha Supernovas. The selections made Creighton the first school in league history to have two picks in the First Round of the same draft.

This is the second straight season the Jays have had to replace three or more All-Americans, as the 2025 Creighton squad that reached the Elite Eight had to replace Kendra Wait, Norah Sis, Maddy Bilinovic and Elise Goetzinger from its 2024 team that also made the Elite Eight.

Survival of the Fittest

Since the move to rally scoring in 2001, Creighton has won 10 matches when surviving a match point and lost five contests when holding a match point of its own.

Set 1 Result A Strong Indicator

Creighton has gone 194-9 in its last 203 matches at all sites when winning the first set, compared to a 22-32 record in that same span when dropping the opener.

Per RichKern.com, Division I teams that lost the first set won just 20.3 percent of their matches from 2014-23.

Champions Among Champions

Since the start of the 2012 season, Creighton, and Western Kentucky are the nation's only schools to have won 13 or more conference regular-season titles. All but three of Creighton's 12 crowns were outright titles, whereas WKU has shared six championships.

Creighton has also won 12 conference tournament titles since 2012, the most in the nation.

Preseason Ranking

Creighton was ranked 13th in the AVCA preseason poll on Aug. 10th. It's the 12th time in the past 14 years that the Jays have been ranked in the preseason, and fifth season in a row. The No. 13 slotting is tied for the fourth-best preseason mark in program history.

Creighton is one of 15 schools to be ranked in every preseason Top 25 poll since 2022. Of note, Creighton is the nation's only program that was nationally-ranked in the preseason polls in 2023, 2024 and 2025 and improved its position in the year-end poll. This year marks the 15th straight season that CU has been ranked at least one week, extending a program record.

Nothing Mid-Major About It

There's nothing mid-major about the Creighton Volleyball program.

From 2012-25, Creighton ranked fourth nationally with 372 victories. The only teams with more wins in those 14 seasons were Western Kentucky (400), Nebraska (394) and Penn State (375). Just behind CU was Texas (370) and Stanford (368).

In that time, Creighton has made five Sweet 16's and three Elite Eights while leading the country with both 13 regular-season conference titles and 12 league tournament titles,

Creighton is the only Volleyball program in BIG EAST history to ever reach the Elite Eight, and has now done it three times (2016, 2024 and 2025).

14 Straight NCAA's

Creighton Volleyball has made the NCAA Tournament in each of the last 14 seasons. They are the first women's team in any sport at Creighton to make 14 straight NCAA Tournament appearances.

The only other sport in Creighton history to make even 10 straight NCAA Tournament appearances is the men's soccer program, which qualified in 17 straight seasons from 1992-2008.

Creighton is one of seven teams nationally to have appeared in each of the last 14 NCAA Tournaments (2012-25). That group features BYU, Creighton, Florida, Kentucky, Nebraska, Penn State and Texas.
