It was a historical weekend. With a pair of wins over Northern Iowa and Bradley, the Jays finished the regular season in second place in the Missouri Valley Conference. It was their best finish in school history.

The second-seeded Jays will get a bye into the semifinals of the MVC tournament this weekend. They will face either UNI or Evansville at 5 p.m. on Friday.

Creighton began the weekend with a sweep of Northern Iowa, its first win ever in Omaha over the Panthers in 15 tries. Scores of the match were 25-16, 25-19, 25-16.

MVC Defensive Player of the Week Carolyn Decker led the Jays with 15 kills and 13 digs, while junior middle blocker Lauren Bloemke finished with nine kills and six blocks. A crowd of 1,557 fans came out for the match, the largest crowd at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Creighton volleyball history.

On Saturday, the Jays won their school-record eighth-straight match in a sweep of Bradley. Decker led once again with 11 kills, and senior setter Korie Lebeda had 27 assists and 10 digs.

The Jays own an 18-8 overall record with a best-ever 15 conference wins. Their nine home wins is also a school record.

Following the MVC tournament, Creighton will look to capture its first-ever NCAA tournament berth.
