There was obvious disappointment last Sunday night when the 21st-ranked Creighton Volleyball team found out they were not one of the top 16 teams pegged as national seeds and regional hosts by the NCAA Selection Committee. But after two days in Lawrence, Kansas the Bluejays inserted themselves into the group of 16 that actually matters after they followed up Thursday’s five-set win over Northern Iowa by doing the same to the fifth-seeded Kansas Jayhawks on Friday to advance to the Sweet 16 for the second consecutive season.
“That was the best match I’ve ever been apart of,” Creighton head coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth said.
