Creighton controlled the first set, a 25-14 victory over an error-prone Georgetown team. The Hoyas had eight attack errors, six service errors, two blocking errors, two ball handling errors and were aced once as the Jays rolled to victory despite just eight kills. A 5-0 serving run on Naomi Hickman's serve pushed the Bluejay lead to 11-6 and gave CU control for good.

Georgetown won just its second set ever in seven matches at D.J. Sokol Arena with a 25-20 victory in the third set. Creighton fell behind 9-4 early before rallying to tie the score at 19, only to see Georgetown end the set on a 6-1 run. Vujosevic had five kills for the Hoyas in the third set.
The fourth set was deadlocked at 14-all before Creighton pulled away down the stretch for the 25-18 win. Davis had six of her 13 kills in the final frame, including CU's final four points of the match.
Creighton will hit the road for its next four matches, starting Friday with a 6 p.m. Central match at St. John's.
