Creighton (10-9) swept the doubles point over Omaha (5-14) before the Bluejays took four of six singles matches to defeat the host Mavericks by three.
The Jays opened the match with three victories in doubles. Senior Jennie Hartjes and freshman Darby Rosette won 8-6 at the top spot. Senior Liz Vermillion and junior Sam Anderson edged the Mavs duo at No. 2 doubles 8-7. On court three, senior Amanda Noonan and sophomore Katherine Nelsen won handily at 8-3.
Noonan posted a double-bagel victory on court four to give the Jays another point. Freshman Natalie Miller dropped just one game in a 6-0, 6-1 decision at No. 5 singles. Junior Sam Anderson won 6-3, 6-4 on court six to clinch the team match point for the Bluejays.
Nelsen came back to win from a set down at No. 2 singles to earn Creighton's final victory of the day. Nelsen dropped the first set 6-4 but won the second stanza in convincing fashion at 6-1 before winning the third-set superbreaker at 10-7.
Omaha won matches in straight sets on courts one and three.
Creighton is back in action next weekend in Indianapolis with BIG EAST matches against Butler and Xavier to end the regular season.
