11/6/2023 1:50:00 PM | Volleyball
Creighton (21-4, 12-2 BIG EAST) has swept each of its last nine matches, the nation's longest streak of consecutive sets won (27), and hit .356 in that span while outscoring foes 679-439. Just two of CU's last nine opponents have scored more than 21 points in any set.
The Bluejays are one of 15 schools (along with Baylor, BYU, Florida, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Louisville, Nebraska, Oregon, Penn State, Pitt, Purdue, Stanford, Texas and Wisconsin) to have been ranked each of the last 42 polls. Creighton has been ranked in all but six of the past 111 weeks the AVCA has put out a Top 25 poll and 119 times in program history, which is 38th-most among all programs all-time. Creighton is 193-44 all-time when playing as a ranked team in the AVCA poll.
CU's all-time best ranking in program history is No. 7, which came in the poll released on Aug. 28, 2017, and its best ranking this fall has been No. 11 on Sept. 18th. This is the 12th straight season that Creighton has spent at least one week in the top-25, extending another program record.
 Unbeaten Nebraska remained in the top spot and is followed in the top-five by Wisconsin, Texas, Stanford and Louisville.
Creighton returns to action on Friday at 5 p.m. Central when it visits Seton Hall.
