The sold-out crowd was fired up. The Jayhawks were hungry for payback. The Bluejays didn’t care.
Ninth-ranked Creighton won their third straight weekend tournament title with a clinical sweep of seventh-ranked, and previously unbeaten, Kansas on Saturday night in Lawrence. The Bluejays hit .302 as a team and kept the Jayhawks out of system and frustrated with a strong performance from the service line that helped set up a wall of blockers at the net in a 25-20, 25-16, 29-27 straight sets victory to improve to 7-2 on the season.
“If you asked me at the beginning would I take [that record through nine games], I would have in a heartbeat,” Creighton head coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth said.
