Creighton volleyball is the most likely “underdog” you’ve ever seen win.
After several years of hosting the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament only to be knocked out in D.J. Sokol Arena on the first weekend, the national media was expecting Creighton to lose before making it to Pittsburgh.
“No one was picking us other than Bluejay nation, even though we were the higher seed,” head coach Kirsten Booth said.
Creighton was one of just two teams, the other being Florida, that was ranked outside of the top 16 despite hosting the first two rounds of the tournament.
