Saturday night, Creighton volleyball dominated #3 Washington to take the Husky Invitational in Seattle. Theย 25-22, 25-17, 14-25, 25-23 four-set victory was impressive enough on the face of it, but consider this: UW had won 81 straight non-conference matches entering Saturday night, dating back to 2008, and had not lost a non-conference home match since 2001. They were 49-3 all-time in the month of August, and undefeated (16-0) at home in August.
Until Saturday, that is, when the Jays matter-of-factly beat them in front of nearly 3,000 partisan fans 3 sets to one.
Knocking off highly-ranked opponents is nothing new for Bluejay volleyball, a highly-ranked squad themselves, but Saturday’s nationally-televised win drew a lot of eyeballs (and attention on Twitter). Here’s some of your tweets recapping the win.
