Cincinnati, Ohio -- Behind a combined 40 points from seniors Lauren Jensen and Mallory Brake, Creighton Women's Basketball dispatched Xavier 82-54 on Wednesday, December 4.
The win lifted Creighton to 6-2 on the season and 1-0 in BIG EAST action, while Xavier fell to 4-4 overall and 0-1 in conference play.
Â
Playing in front of better than 5,000 Xavier fans, mainly supplied by the Kids Day promotion that created the 10:00 am (CT) tip, the Bluejays took control midway through the opening quarter as Brake scored 11 in the opening 10 minutes to push the Bluejays out to a 21-12 lead after one. All 21 of the Creighton points came in bunches as Creighton used a trio of 7-0 bursts in the quarter.
Â
The second quarter belonged to Jensen as the Minnesota native scored 10 in the frame, igniting an 8-0 surge with a trey with 6:38 remaining. During the stanza Creighton led by as much as 23 points (39-16 with 2:56 left) and took a 42-19 edge in at the half.
Â
Creighton put the game away in the opening moments of the second half as the Bluejays scored the first nine points to extend their advantage to 51-19 (7:19).
Â
Jensen led all scorers with 23 points, while Brake tied a career-high with 17 points and Morgan Maly finished the game with 12 points. Xavier got 21 points from Loren Christie in the loss.
Â
