Slow Start Spoils Women's Basketball Upset Bid at #10 Kansas State

Manhattan, Kansas -- A slow start that saw Creighton Women's Basketball fall behind 15-5 in the opening five minutes proved to be the Bluejays undoing in an 86-68 loss at #10 Kansas State on Thursday, November 14.

The loss moved Creighton to 1-2 on the season, while the Wildcats moved to 3-0.

Kansas State's early surge was keyed by four treys in the opening stanza as the Wildcats pushed their 15-5 edge to a 22-9 advantage as the game moved to the second quarter.

Creighton found its footing in the second quarter as the Bluejays connected from beyond the arc twice, but the size advantage allowed K-State to take a 39-23 lead into the locker room at the half.
