Whatever Kirsten Bernthal Booth and her coaching staff prefer as their drink of choice, they’ll likely need to double up on that order after watching their players go to a fifth and deciding set for the third straight match on Friday night in Omaha. This time, the 19th-ranked Bluejays outlasted No. 25 Marquette, rattling off a 10-2 run to close out a 25-13, 20-25, 23-25, 25-20, 15-13 back-and-forth affair at D.J. Sokol Arena to improve to 3-1 on the season.
“That was a dog fight. It could have gone either way,” Creighton’s head coach said to reporters after the match.
