Bluejays are 14th in RPI; 24th in AVCA Poll
OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton Volleyball team moved to 14th in the fourth edition of the official version of the RPI released by the NCAA, and remained 24th in this week's American Volleyball Coaches Association poll.
Creighton dropped one spot to 14th in the RPI but didn't move in the AVCA poll following a pair of one-sided home sweeps against Georgetown and Villanova in which neither opponent scored 20 points or more in any set.
The Bluejays are 20-3 overall this year, tied for the national lead in victories with Louisville, Western Kentucky, Ball State and North Florida.
The Bluejays, who have been as high as No. 16 this season in the AVCA poll, have now been ranked in each of the last eight weeks and 85 times overall, a figure that ranks 48th-most in history. CU's all-time best ranking in program history is No. 7, which came in the poll released on Aug. 28, 2017. Creighton is 134-34 all-time when playing as a ranked team in the AVCA poll, including a 46-16 mark in true road matches. This is the 10th straight season that Creighton has spent at least one week in the top-25, extending another program record.
Marquette is still just outside the AVCA's top-25 this week, ranking third among those "also receiving votes". The Golden Eagles are 18-3 overall and atop the BIG EAST standings with a 9-1 record, with the lone loss coming to Creighton. MU owns an RPI of 16.
Creighton hits the road this week to play at Marquette on Friday at 7 p.m. and at DePaul on Saturday at 6 p.m. Both matches will be streamed on FloSports.
