Storrs, Conn. - The women's volleyball team fell to Creighton in Omaha in three sets on Sunday afternoon.Â
The first set started at a very even pace from both sides. Creighton would slowly run away from UConn, but not without a fight. UConn would go on a 3-0 scoring run to only be down by one, 24-23. However, Creighton's Ava Martin would tack on five kills to help the Blue Jays take a close set one, 25-23.Â
The Blue Jays would find more separation in the second set as they put together eight blocks by the end of the set. Norah Sis would also add to her total kills in the set with 11. Allie Garland and Kennadie Jake-Turner would combine for 12 kills, but it would not be enough as Creighton would go on to take set two, 25-15.Â
Set three started off strong for the Huskies as they went on a 3-0 scoring run to make it an early 4-1 lead. UConn would later take a 21-18 lead with Garland at 10 kills, but the momentum shifted again as the Blue Jays would finish the game taking the last seven straight points and winning in three sets.   Â
