Creighton now 21-3 on the season
OMAHA, Neb. -- The No. 13 Creighton Volleyball team won its 13th straight match with an overpowering 3-0 sweep of visiting Providence on Friday, Nov. 4.
Scores of CU's 150th regular-season BIG EAST victory were 25-13, 25-14, 25-16. The Bluejays are now 21-3 overall and 13-0 in BIG EAST play. Providence dropped to 11-14 and is 3-10 in BIG EAST action.
Creighton freshman Ava Martin hit .526 and had 13 kills, while sophomore setter Kendra Wait finished with 35 assists, seven digs and seven kills on .778 hitting.
Providence was led by Brielle Mullally's nine assists, seven kills and five digs.
Playing a rare 1 p.m. weekday match, the Bluejays raced to a 10-1 lead and never trailed in the opening set. Back-to-back aces by freshman Sky McCune closed out the 25-13 CU triumph, which saw CU hit .429 as Martin and Kiana Schmitt both had five kills and Wait dished 14 assists.
A 6-0 run on Wait's serve propelled CU to a 10-6 lead in the second set. Senior libero Allison Whitten had eight of CU's 18 digs to help hold PC to .000 hitting in 29 swings. Martin, Schmitt, Norah Sis and Wait all had three kills in the frame to push CU to a 2-0 lead heading into intermission.
CU took the lead for good on a 4-0 service run by McCune to make it 6-4 in the third set and the Jays never looked back before closing out a 25-16 victory on an attack error by the Friars. Sis had five kills and three digs in the finale and Martin added five kills in six swings to lead an offense that hit .368.
Creighton finished the contest with 51 kills, seven aces, 47 digs and five blocks on .360 hitting as a team. The Friars had 20 kills, two aces, 29 digs and six blocks but hit .084 collectively.
Creighton returns to the court on Sunday at 12 p.m. when it hosts Connecticut. The Huskies have won seven straight matches since losing to Creighton on Oct. 7 in Storrs.
