WICHITA, Kan. - Creighton shot 50 percent from the field and 50 percent from three-point range in a 58-48 win at Wichita State Sunday afternoon. The Jays hit 9-of-18 three-pointers in the win, including Megan Neuvirth's 3-for-3 effort from long range. Neuvirth led the team with 18 points and 10 rebounds in her fourth double-double of the season.
Wichita State (13-9, 5-6 MVC) jumped out to a 7-2 lead in the game's opening minutes, before the Bluejays (13-7, 8-3 MVC) responded with nine straight points to claim an 11-7 lead. Creighton led 15-11 before the Shockers ran off eight unanswered points to go back ahead 19-15. WSU would lead by five, before a 10-0 run from the Jays gave them the lead for good, up 27-22. Kelsey Woodard drained a three-pointer with six seconds left in the first half to give CU its largest lead of the first half, up 30-24 heading into halftime.
Creighton kept the momentum in its favor to open the second half, opening on an 11-2 run to take a 15 point lead, up 41-26 not even three minutes into the half. The Shockers would get within seven just minutes later, before the Jays opened up to a 48-36 lead with 11:51 left in the half. From there, both teams would play sloppy basketball, with turnovers and missed shots plaguing both sides. CU went better than nine minutes without a field goal, but the Shockers could not get any closer than seven points during that time.
Neuvirth's three-point basket with 3:04 left ended the drought and gave the Jays a 52-42 lead. Sam Schuett hit a three-pointer on CU's next possession to prevent any attempted comeback by the home team.
Th Jays hit 22-of-44 shots from the field and hit 9-of-18 three-pointers in the win, despite getting out-rebounded for the first time in MVC play, 28-25.
Neuvirth led all players with 18 points and 10 rebounds for her 17th career double-double and fourth of the season. She finished 7-for-12 from the field and 3-of-3 from beyond the arc. Schuett added 13 points and tied Chevelle Herring with a team-high five assists, Schuett made 3-of-5 three-pointers in the win, while Herring finished with eight points - all in the second half.
Woodard scored seven points on her 21st birthday to move her career total to 999 points.
The Shockers had three players with 10 points each - Michelle Price, Marisah Henderson and Sheena Johnson. WSU's leading scorer on the season, Haleigh Lankster, was held to just two points in the loss.
