BLUE STATE! Women's Basketball Completes Sweep With 72-51 Win Over Nebraska-Omaha

Sydney Lamberty Eclipses 1,000-Point Mark with Game High 21
Omaha, Neb. -- Senior Sydney Lamberty delivered a game-high 21 points, becoming the 28th Bluejay to cross the 1,000-point mark, as the Creighton women's basketball team completed a Bluejay sweep of the state with a 72-51 win over Nebraska-Omaha on Sunday, Dec. 10.
The victory pushed the Bluejay record to 5-3 on the season, while UNO fell to 7-3.
A back-and-forth opening period saw the Bluejays take the lead for good with just under four minutes remaining as sophomore Jaylyn Agnew knocked down her second three-ball of the contest to put Creighton up 16-14. Moments later senior Bailey Norby drilled a trifecta from the left wing shortly before the end of the quarter, but the Mavericks got the final bucket of the frame to send it to the second with Creighton up 19-16.
Leading 23-20 with 7:56 left in the first half, Creighton created some separation with their defense as the Bluejays held Nebraska-Omaha to just one point over the following five minutes. During the stretch the Bluejays stretched their lead to 29-21 with three-pointers from Agnew and Lamberty. The Bluejays held the eight-point edge into the break, taking a 35-27 edge into half.
Creighton's defense continued to frustrate the Mavericks in the third period as the Bluejays pushed with lead to 15 at 46-31 with 3:36 left. This burst was led by Creighton's post play as junior Audrey Faber, Norby, sophomore Ali Greene and senior Kylie Brown delivered eight of the Bluejays opening nine points in the period. A late Maverick spurt cut Creighton's lead to 11 at 49-38 heading to the fourth.
The final frame saw the Bluejays continue to dominate as Creighton opened the frame on a 9-2 run. Lamberty put her name in the Bluejay history books early in the frame as she sank two free throws, then dropped in a 15-foot jumper to become the 28th member of Creighton's 1,000-point club. The Bluejays led by as much as 22 at 71-49 and claimed the contest, 72-51.
Lamberty finished with a game-high 21 points, while Agnew delivered 15 points and Norby delivered a season-high 11 points. Nebraska-Omaha got 14 points from Jay Bridgeman to lead the Mavericks.
