INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- The Creighton Volleyball team earned its sixth straight victory with a 3-0 win at Butler on Sunday afternoon inside historic Hinkle Fieldhouse. Scores of the Bluejay victory were 25-20, 25-14, 25-19.

Creighton (17-9, 12-2 BIG EAST) won a back-and-forth first set that featured eight ties and five lead changes, pulling away down the stretch for the 25-20 victory. Led by four kills in six swings from Eloise Brandewie, CU hit .444 in the first set as five different women had multiple kills.

Tied 9-9 in the second set, CU unleashed a 10-2 spurt to bury the Bulldogs en route to a 25-14 win in the second set and claim a 2-0 lead at the intermission. Ivy Leuck checked in late in the set and served an ace down the line to get the Jays to set point. The teams then exchanged service errors to close the frame. Trinity Shadd-Ceres had seven kills in nine swings during the second set to lead the way for an offensive unit that hit .520. The Bluejay defense also out-dug Butler 14-6 in the second frame, holding the Bulldogs to .043 hitting.

Butler (11-15, 5-9 BIG EAST) used a 5-0 run to take a 7-4 lead in the third set before Creighton responded with a 9-1 run to regain command. CU looked in control with a 19-15 advantage before three straight points by Butler necessitated a timeout from Brian Rosen. CU regrouped with a block by Brandewie and Katie Dalton to start a 6-1 run to end the match. Creighton had three blocks to help hold the Bulldogs to -.071 hitting in the finale, with Ayden Ames having a hand in three of those stuffs.

Shadd-Ceres led the Creighton offense with 11 kills and Saige Damrow topped the Bluejay defense with nine digs. The Bluejays hit .319 and finished with 41 kills, 44 digs, seven blocks and five aces.

Butler freshman Chase Lemming shined for the Bulldogs with nine kills. Butler owned 28 kills, 35 digs, five aces, four blocks and hit .059.

Creighton closes the regular-season next weekend with home matches on Friday vs. Georgetown and Sunday against Villanova.
