Creighton's three-point barrage too much for Nebraska in Huskers' first loss of season

The Creighton women’s basketball team made a season-high 14 three-pointers and beat Nebraska 79-74 on Sunday afternoon at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

That ends a 5-0 start to the season for Nebraska. Creighton (4-1) has won four straight games in its series with Nebraska.

The threes weren’t a surprise as the Jays average 9.0 threes per game. They were 14-for-32 on threes on Sunday. Nebraska was just 3-for-16 on threes.

Senior guard Jaylyn Agnew led Creighton with 26 points, including five threes. Temi Carda added 18 points for the Jays and made four threes.

Creighton led 55-51 to start the fourth quarter, then went on a 6-0 run to stretch its lead to 10 points, its largest of the game.
