Following an eighth-place finish in the competitive BIG EAST conference last season, the Creighton softball team came into the 2024 season the underdogs. However, the Bluejays flipped the script, emerging as a powerhouse within the conference as they handed the Villanova Wildcats their first conference series loss last weekend.
Anticipation of inclement weather on Sunday prompted the teams to expedite the games, resulting in a thrilling doubleheader on Friday.
In game one, the Jays were the first to strike as senior Emma Ronsonke drew a bases-loaded walk to put the Jays up 1-0 after the first.
Villanova was quick to respond, scoring 3 runs in the top of the third.
