Creighton’s seniors light an early spark to beat Butler in their final game at D.J. Sokol Arena

In the last home game of their careers, Creighton’s five seniors — Aimee Rischard, Myah Mellman, Sydney Lamberty, Bailey Norby, and Kylie Brown — set a strong tone from the opening tip in a 64-55 win over the Butler Bulldogs on a Senior Day Sunday afternoon in front of more than 1,200 fans at D.J. Sokol Arena.

Brown got the Bluejays on the board with a jumper along the baseline, Norby followed that up with a pump fake and drive to the hoop, and then Mellman buried a three in transition from the left corner to open up a 9-0 lead that they never surrendered the rest of the way.
