As some Creighton players filed into D.J. Sokol Arena, suitcases in tow, on Sunday afternoon they were congratulated on a great match and a great season by the people they passed on the way to the locker room. They acknowledged the compliments with half-hearted smiles that were quickly replaced by blank expressions once their faces were out of view. The Bluejay volleyball program has won seven regular season conference titles, six conference tournament championships, 11 NCAA Tournament matches, and advanced to two Sweet 16’s and one Elite 8 this decade alone. While there exists some pride in going down swinging, which the Jays did on Saturday night in their five-set, season-ending loss to No.
Creighton’s season-ending loss at the hands of Minnesota is going to sting for a while
