OMAHA, Neb. -- Fresh off its third consecutive BIG EAST Tournament title, Creighton Volleyball moved up one spot to 14th in the final American Volleyball Coaches Association Top 25 poll of the regular-season released on Monday.
Creighton (27-4, 17-1 BIG EAST) defeated Xavier (3-0) and then-No. 14 Marquette (3-2) at last week's BIG EAST Championship to earn its eighth tourney title in the past nine seasons. Marquette (27-3, 17-1 BIG EAST), which shared the BIG EAST title with Creighton, moved from 14th to 16th in the poll.
The Bluejay RPI moved up four spots to 12th in the official NCAA RPI.
The Bluejays have now been ranked each of the last 29 polls and 106 times in program history. That figure ranks 43rd-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 172-39 all-time when playing as a ranked team in the AVCA poll. This is the 11th straight season that Creighton has spent at least one week in the top-25, another program record.
Texas remained in the top spot of the poll, followed by Wisconsin, San Diego, Louisville and Stanford.
Creighton makes its 11th straight NCAA Tournament appearance on Friday at 6:30 p.m. when it hosts Auburn inside D.J. Sokol Arena. CU will also host a 3:30 p.m. First Round match between South Dakota and No. 23 Houston.AVCA Division I Coaches Poll
