This past weekend, the No. 9 Creighton Bluejays took their talents to Louisville, Kentucky, for the highly anticipated Cardinal Classic, squaring off against Northern Iowa, Rice and the formidable No. 4 Louisville Cardinals.
The matchup against Louisville carried extra weight for Creighton as it was a chance for redemption. The last time these two teams met, it ended in heartbreak for the Bluejays, falling in a thrilling five-set battle during last year’s Sweet Sixteen.
Before facing Louisville, the Bluejays kicked off the Cardinal Classic with a match against Northern Iowa, a game that carried its own unique significance.
