Throughout the Season, Faber Has Been the Bluejays Constant
In a season filled with injuries that has caused a series of rotations and moving pieces, the Bluejays have consistently been able to rely on senior Audrey Faber. The Iowa native has led Creighton in scoring in 13 of 22 contests. She has reached double figures in points during each game this season as well as the final three of 2017-18 for a streak of 25 consecutive contests. The forward has topped the 20-point mark six times this season and was limited to just 10 points once in 2018-19.
Four Game BIG EAST Slide Tied for Longest Since Joining Conference
Creighton's current four-game skid equals the longest losing streak in BIG EAST play for the Bluejays, the only other time Creighton dropped four in a row was during the 2014-15 season as Creighton fell at Xavier (65-66 on Jan. 2), at Butler (58-63 on Jan. 4), vs. Villanova (61-65 on Jan. 9) and vs. St. John's (38-61 on Jan. 11).
The last time the Bluejays dropped five consecutive games overall was the final five contests of the 2010-11 season. The last time the Bluejays dropped five straight conference games was during the 2005-06 season. That year Creighton lost opened MVC play with four wins, before falling in 13 consecutive games.
