1/14/2023 3:31:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Indianapolis, Ind. -- Led by a combined 50 points from the trio of Emma Ronsiek (Sioux Falls, S.D.) Lauren Jensen (Lakeville, Minn.) and Carly Bachelor (Topeka, Kan.), the Creighton women's basketball team defeated Butler 75-56 on Saturday, January 14.
The win pushed the Bluejays to 12-5 on the season and 6-3 in BIG EAST play, while the Bulldogs fell to 7-11 and 2-7 in conference action.
Each team came out sluggish in the opening frame as Creighton went 6-for-19 (31.6%) and Butler shot 4-for-14 (28.6%) in the first quarter. Juniors Ronsiek and Jensen each delivered fie points in the frame to give Creighton a 14-9 edge.
Butler clawed within two a pair of times early in the second, but junior Mallory Brake (Hastings, Minn.) provided a lift with five points in the frame, including her first trey of the season to put Creighton up 22-17 (7:40). Leading 25-22 with 4:38 remaining in the half, Creighton used a 9-0 run led by four from Bachelor to stretch the advantage to 34-22 (1:13). Just before halftime Butler ended the Bluejay surge with a bucket from Rachel McLimore to send the teams to the locker room with Creighton leading 34-24.
The third quarter saw Bachelor, Jensen and Ronsiek combine for 21 points, eight from Bachelor, as the Bluejays extended their lead to as much as 22 at 57-35 (1:44) and took a 59-38 edge into the final frame.
Treys from juniors Morgan Maly (Crete, Neb.) and Jayme Horan (Omaha, Neb.) gave Creighton a 67-43 edge with 6:13, allowing the team to coast to the 75-56 win.
Ronsiek led all scorers with 20 points, while Bachelor and Jensen each finished with 15 points. Butler got a team-high 16 points from Sydney Jaynes in the loss.
