Jensen has lead Creighton in scoring in 11 games in 2024-25, also leading the Bluejays in assists in 17 contests.
Maly heads to the BIG EAST Tournament with 507 this season to move within three points of third in Creighton history at 2,008 points. Morgan set the Bluejay record for made three pointers in her career, currently at 325 and climbing. A two-time BIG EAST Player of the Week this season, Maly is averaging 17.5 ppg and leads the team with 172 rebounds, 5.9 rpg.

She led the Bluejays in scoring in six games, while she has been the Bluejays' assist leader in 13 contests. Mogensen's contributions off the court earned her the Co-Sportsmanship honor.
