OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton women's volleyball team claimed its fifth consecutive BIG EAST Championship title with a 26-28, 25-22, 25-21 and 25-21 victory against Marquette on Saturday night at D.J. Sokol Arena.

Creighton is the first school to win five straight BIG EAST Championship titles since Pittsburgh won seven straight from 1988-94. Creighton is also the nation's only team to win a conference tournament each of the last five seasons.

The Bluejays claimed their 20th consecutive victory and improved to 28-4 overall while earning the BIG EAST's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.

Jaali Winters and Taryn Kloth each recorded 19 kills to pace the Bluejays.
