IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Lauren Jensen's three-pointer with 12.6 seconds left helped the Creighton women's basketball team clinch a trip to its first Sweet 16 in program history with a 64-62 win at No. 8 Iowa on Sunday, March 20.
With the victory, Creighton (22-9) advances to next Friday's Regional Semifinal in Greensboro, N.C., where it will take on the winner of tonight's Iowa State/Georgia match-up. A game time and network coverage for that contest would be announced on Monday evening.
Creighton opened the game with three consecutive lay-ups, including a pair from Emma Ronsiek, before back-to-back three-pointers from Payton Brotzki helped the Bluejays to a 12-11 lead.
