OMAHA, Neb. -- The No. 13 Creighton Volleyball team defeated Kansas State on Friday night in exhibition action, winning the first three sets before dropping the final frame.
Scores of the match in favor of Creighton were 25-17, 25-18, 25-21, 24-26.

CU trailed 10-7 early in the second set before a 7-1 spurt moved the Bluejays in front for good. CU owned five blocks in the frame, including three in a five point stretch late in the set.
The third set featured three early lead changes before CU emerged with a 25-21 decision to clinch the match.
