Creighton boasts seven newcomers, including four freshmen who were ranked as the No. 10 recruiting class in the nation, in addition to three transfers. One of those transfers, Madelyn Cole (10.15 aps.) started at setter last weekend. Creighton has been picked to finish second in

the BIG EAST Conference and was ranked 13th in the preseason AVCA Top 25 poll before drop-ping to 15th this week.

The CoachesCreighton is coached by Kirsten Bernthal Booth (Truman State, 1997), who is in her 16th season with a 318-162 record. She’s led Creighton to four straight BIG EAST titles, and five league crowns in the last six years. Booth led the Bluejays to their first two Sweet 16’s (2015, 2016) and first Elite Eight (2016) in pro-gram history. In 2016 she was recognized as VolleyballMag.com National Coach of the Year, BIG EAST Coach of the Year and AVCA East Region Coach of the Year. The winningest coach in school history, Booth has taken Creighton to its only seven NCAA Tournament bids in the program’s modern his-tory. She’s also coached CU into the top-25 each of the last seven years, another program first. Booth came to Creighton after going 112-41 in three years at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A native of Lincoln, Neb., Booth played volleyball at Truman State, where she was named conference MVP, an Academic All-American and Missouri’s 1997 NCAA Woman of the Year. She ranked third in Division II history with 6,077 assists when she graduated. Booth is assisted by Angie Oxley Behrens, Craig Dyer and Noel Carpio.

Series History vs. Arkansas StateCreighton is 1-1 all-time against Arkansas State, falling to the Red Wolves in five sets in Omaha in 1997 before sweeping A-State in 2004 (37-35, 30-16, 32-30) at the Quality Inn/Tiger Invitational in Columbia, Mo. Head coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth is 1-0 against Arkansas State and has never coached against David Rehr at the Division I level.

Series History vs. NC StateCreighton has never faced NC State. Head coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth has never faced NC State and has never coached against Linda Hampton-Keith.

Series History vs. SMUCreighton has never faced SMU. Head coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth has never faced SMU and has never coached against Lisa Seifert.

Cole Returns To DallasJunior setter Madelyn Cole returns to her home-town of Dallas this weekend when Creighton participates in the SMU DoubleTree Classic. Cole, who prepped at Plano Senior High School, is in her first year at Creighton after spending the first two years of college at Marshall. Cole’s mother, Misty Stern, played club vol-leyball at SMU. Cole’s father, Ramon Flanigan, is a former SMU quarterback who graduated in 1997 as the program’s all-time leader in total offense. He’s currently a member of the SMU Football staff, where he serves as Director of Former Player Relations. Not only does Creighton have a setter from Dallas, but SMU has a setter from Omaha (Lily Heim).

#AskMeganGot a question for junior Megan Ballenger? You’re in luck! Ballenger will participate in a Q&A on the NCAA Volleyball Twitter account on Monday (Sept. 3) at 1 p.m. Central. Beginning now, fans can tweet questions to her using the hashtag #AskMegan, and she’ll record videos answering those questions on Monday afternoon at 1 p.m. on the official @NCAAVolleyball Twitter account.

Journey To The TourneyAll four teams that played in last week’s Trojan Invitational are currently among the top 17 teams in the country, with USC (7), Creighton (15), Kentucky (16) and UNI (17) all ranked in Monday’s poll. The field of this week’s SMU DoubleTree Classic features four postseason teams from a year ago, but only Creighton (ranked 15th) is receiving AVCA Top 25 poll votes. That makes this Creighton’s first non-con-ference tournament since the 2014 Bluejay Invitational that none of the Bluejay opponents are receiving votes or are ranked, snapping a streak of 14 straight tourneys with at least one. In case you’re curious, Creighton has not played in a tournament when none of its oppo-nents, nor the Bluejays, were ranked or getting votes (which is NOT the case this week) since the Northern Colorado Classic that was held from Sept. 7-8, 2012.

15 Not Enough For These JaysNormally when a fifth set is contested, a team must reach 15 points (and win by two) to earn a victory.

In both of CU’s five-setters on the opening weekend at the Trojan Invitational, that still wasn’t enough to decide a victor. Creighton lost to No. 10 USC by an 18-16 count in the fifth set on Aug. 25. One day earlier, Creighton saved two match points and eventually converted its sixth match point opportunity to take a 22-20 decision vs. No. 5 Kentucky. The 22-20 score was the highest-scoring fifth set in program history, eclipsing a 20-18 win in 2016 at No. 4 Kansas and a 20-18 loss to Iowa in St. Louis in 2010.

All Night LongCreighton played the longest match (by time) in program history on Aug. 25 against No. 10 USC, as its match against the Women of Troy lasted 3:04. The previous longest matches had been 2:45, done twice in the fall of 2000.

Creighton’s Longest Matches (By Length) Time Opponent, Date Result 3:04 at #10 USC, 8/25/18 USC 3-2 2:45 at Indiana State, 10/14/00 CU 3-2 2:45 at Evansville, 11/4/00 CU 3-2 2:42 at USC, 9/3/16 USC 3-2

Ranked PairLast Friday marked just the second time that Creighton Soccer and Creighton Volleyball both beat ranked teams on the same day, as the vol-leyball team topped No. 5 Kentucky (3-2) just hours before the men’s soccer team defeated No. 11 Clemson (2-0). The only previous day with both teams taking down top-25 foes had been Aug. 30, 2013, when the volleyball team opened its season with a 3-1 win over No. 13 BYU and the men’s soccer team followed with a 2-0 triumph over No. 14 Tulsa.

Service ImprovesCreighton had 23 service errors in its season-opening victory over No. 5 Kentucky, including nine errors in 20 attempts in the first set of the season. Creighton’s minimized such mistakes in its final two matches of the weekend, finishing with six service errors vs. UNI and eight miscues in five sets against No. 10 USC. Below is a list of the most service errors in a match in program history:

Special KTaryn Kloth had a career-high 25 kills in Saturday’s match at No. 10 USC. It was two more than her previous best, which was set in 2016 at USC the last time she faced the Women of Troy in the Galen Center. Kloth now owns three career matches of 20+ kills, as seen below:

25 Kill DuoSenior All-American outside hitters Jaali Winters and Taryn Kloth each had a match of 25 kills on the opening weekend of the season. Winters had 25 kills against No. 5 Kentucky on Aug. 24, and one day later Kloth had 25 kills at No. 10 USC. In all of last season, Winters (with 28 at Butler) was the only Bluejay performer with 20+ kills in any match last season. This year marks the first time since 2000 that multiple Creighton players have had a match with 25 or more kills. In 2000, Melissa Walsh had three matches while Melanie Keolanui did it once. It also happened in 1998 with Walsh (twice) and Shelly Kapler (once). Below is a list of Creighton players with the most career matches of 20 or more kills, as well as 25 or more kills.

Regular-Season Tournament HistoryCreighton is 103-95 in the 67 regular-season tournaments it has participated in all-time, includ-ing a 46-26 mark since the start of 2012. Kirsten Bernthal Booth’s teams are 83-62 in 52 regular-season tournaments, including 12 titles. Creighton had won just two of 16 regular-season tournaments prior to Booth’s arrival. Last year marked the first time since 2004 that Creighton won back-to-back regular-season tournament titles in the same season, and is also the first time Creighton has won three tourney titles in the same regular-season.

Season Opening HistoryCreighton’s win over No. 5 Kentucky last week-end improved the Jays to 16-9 in season-opening matches since restarting the program in 1994. Creighton head coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth improved to 12-4 in season-opening matches. Booth is also 13-3 in Creighton’s first match away from home, helping Creighton improve to 16-9 in such contests all-time. In five of the last seven years (including 2018), the team to win the first set of Creighton’s season-opener went on to lose the match. Creighton improved to 2-2 all-time against ranked teams in season-openers, including a 2013 triumph over No. 13 BYU before last Friday’s victory vs. No. 5 Kentucky.

Lone Star State MemoriesCreighton hasn’t played many matches in Texas, having made just one trip to the Lone Star State since 2012. That trip, however, proved to be a memorable one. Creighton defeated Michigan in a Regional Semifinal to advance to the program’s only Elite Eight, where it fell to Texas in Austin.

Survival of the FittestCreighton has won nine matches under Kirsten Bernthal Booth after surviving an opponent’s match point, including this year’s season-open-ing win over No. 5 Kentucky. Three of those comeback wins have come against Wichita State. On the other hand, Creighton is 318-2 under Booth when it reaches a math point opportunity, falling only when it wasted two match points on Sept. 4, 2010 to Iowa and two other match points on Nov. 1, 2013 in a loss to St. John’s.

Top 10 Recruiting ClassCreighton’s freshman quartet of Keeley Davis, Annika Welty, Jaela Zimmerman and Kari Zumach were named the nation’s No. 10 recruit-ing class by PrepVolleyball.com. That’s the highest-ranked class in program history. The same organization ranked Davis as the nation’s No. 42 recruit, with Zimmerman 49th. Creighton has had just two top-50 recruits previously (No. 18 Taryn Kloth in 2015, No. 41 Jaali Winters in 2015) while No. 50 (in 2014) Lydia Dimke went to Purdue for two years before transferring to Creighton.

The GauntletCreighton plays five different non-conference teams that were in the top-25 of the preseason AVCA coaches poll. That’s tied for the most in the nation, with Northern Iowa, Texas, USC and Wichita State. The Bluejays meet up with No. 2 Nebraska, No. 5 Kentucky, No. 10 USC, No. 12 Illinois and No. 21 Iowa State in 2018. This is the sixth straight season that Creighton will face four or more non-conference foes that are in the preseason Top 25. Of Creighton’s 12 non-conference matches this year, all but one (Lipscomb) is against a team that played in the postseason last fall.

Ranked To Start The YearCreighton starts the season ranked No. 13 in the AVCA Coaches poll. It’s the fifth time in the past six campaigns that CU’s been ranked in the pre-season AVCA poll, and third straight fall. Being ranked in the preseason poll is no guar-antee of future success, however. In the previ-ous 10 seasons, only 178-of-250 teams (71.2 percent) would be in both the preseason and postseason AVCA Top 25 polls.

Since 2008, all but 25 teams (of 250) named in the preseason AVCA Top 25 poll would go on to reach the NCAA Tournament (90.0 percent).

Top 25 HistoryCreighton is 11-72 all-time against teams in the top-25 of the AVCA poll, but 6-6 since the start of the 2016 NCAA Tournament. Last year’s win at No. 3 Washington was the highest-ranked team that the Bluejays has ever beaten, surpassing a win at No. 4 Kansas the previous December. Creighton is 5-28 all-time against top-10 foes (5-21 under Kirsten Bernthal Booth). Creighton lost its first 31 true road matches against top-25 foes, but has ‘improved’ to 4-35 after wins in recent seasons at No. 23 North Carolina (2015), No. 4 Kansas (2016), No. 3 Washington (2017) and No. 7 Kansas (2017). Creighton is 59-19 all-time when playing as a ranked team, and also 7-11 all-time against ranked teams when ranked itself. That mark improves to 2-0 when both Creighton and its opponent are ranked in the top 10. Since the start of the 2012 season, 26 of Creighton’s 47 losses have come against ranked teams. In that same period, Creighton is 151-21 against unranked teams. Creighton has won 35 straight home matches over unranked teams. This is the third time that Creighton has been ranked exactly 15th, joining September 18, 2017 and November 27, 2017. Creighton is 3-1 in those contests, defeating Georgetown, Villanova and Coastal Carolina but also losing to No. 12 Michigan State. All four matches went exactly four sets. Top 25 JaysCreighton started the 2018 campaign ranked 13th and is currently 15th. This means the Bluejays are in the top 25 of the AVCA poll for the 24th straight week. That streak started on Oct. 31, 2016. Nationally, that’s the 14th-longest active streak, as seen below:

Setting The TableFor the sixth time in seven years, Creighton had a different opening day setter. The Jays started the season with Megan Bober in 2012 vs. UCF before Michelle Sicner took over in the 2013 lid-lifter vs. BYU. In 2014 Maggie Baumert started the opener at setter against Lipscomb, while Kenzie Crawford got the call versus Miami (Ohio) in 2015. Lydia Dimke started the initial contest in both 2016 and 2017, but she has graduated. This year Madelyn Cole started the season-opener against No. 5 Kentucky, producing a double-double in the five-set victory. The revolving door at setter hasn’t hurt the team in that time, as each of the previous six seasons ended in the NCAA Tournament, and five of them saw Creighton win conference titles. Creighton also won six of those seven season-opening matches.

Select CompanyThe BIG EAST’s Creighton and Marquette are two of 19 teams nationally to have appeared in each of the last six NCAA Tournaments. That group features BYU, Colorado State, Creighton, Florida, Florida State, Hawaii, Iowa State, Kansas, Kentucky, Marquette, Michigan State, Nebraska, Oregon, Penn State, San Diego, Stanford, Texas, USC and Washington. Creighton is one of 15 teams to win a match in each of the last three NCAA Tournaments.

Creighton is also one of 19 schools with six straight seasons of 20+ wins (2012-17). That list features American, BYU, Colorado State, Creighton, Florida, Florida State, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Marquette, Nebraska, North Carolina, Penn State, Stanford, Texas, UTSA, Washington, Western Kentucky and Wichita State. Creighton is also one of just nine schools nationally who have won 23 matches or more in each of the previous six seasons (2012-17). That group consists of BYU, Creighton, Florida, Nebraska, Penn State, Stanford, Texas, Washington and Western Kentucky. Creighton is also one of 11 teams to be in the year-end AVCA poll in 2015, 2016 and 2017. That list includes BYU, Creighton, Florida, Minnesota, Nebraska, Penn State, Stanford, Texas, UCLA, Washington and Wisconsin.

BIG EAST Preseason PollFor the first time since Creighton’s 2012 season in the Missouri Valley Conference, the Bluejays were not picked to win their league. This year a preseason poll of BIG EAST coaches tabbed Marquette with 78 points and six first-place votes, edging out Creighton’s 76 points and four first-place votes. Butler was picked third in the league’s preseason poll, with Villanova fourth. Creighton also had three women named to the

12 member on the BIG EAST’s preseason all-conference team, as Taryn Kloth, Jaali Winters and Brittany Witt were all honored. It was the second straight preseason honor for Kloth and Witt, and third in a row for Winters.

Set 1 Result A Strong IndicatorCreighton is 263-28 (.904) overall under Kirsten Bernthal Booth when it wins set one. In that same time span, CU is just 55-134 (.291) under Booth when it drops the first set. Per RichKern.com, Division I teams that lost the first set in 2017 won just 20.8 percent of their matches last season. Since Aug. 29, 2010, Creighton has gone 80-1

in its last 81 home matches when taking a 1-0 lead, losing only on Sept. 12, 2015 to Pacific. Last year’s team was 22-0 when winning the first set and 4-7 when dropping the first set. Dating back to Sept. 22, 2016, Creighton has won 41 straight matches at all sites when win-ning the first set.

Taking The FifthCreighton is 53-28 in five-set matches under Kirsten Bernthal Booth. That’s impressive since Creighton had never finished a season with a winning record in fifth sets prior to Booth’s arrival. Creighton has won 12 of its last 16 true road matches to go five sets, including wins in 2012 over league rivals Northern Iowa, Wichita State and Missouri State, wins in 2013 at Denver and at Wichita State, wins in 2014 at Butler and at St. John’s, a win at Georgetown in 2015, an NCAA Tournament win at No. 4 Kansas in 2016 and 2017 victories at Butler, Georgetown and Marquette. It’s also worth noting that Creighton is 11-3 all-time in five-set home matches at D.J. Sokol Arena.

Six Straight NCAA’sCreighton Volleyball has made the NCAA Tournament in each of the last six seasons. They are the first women’s team in any sport at Creighton to make six straight NCAA Tournament appearances.

4 Straight BIG EAST Regular-Season TitlesCreighton has won each of the last four BIG EAST regular-season titles. No team had won four straight regular-season BIG EAST titles (including shares) since Notre Dame won seven in a row from 1999-2005. Notre Dame had also been the last team to win four or more straight outright BIG EAST

regular-season titles, having claimed four in a row from 1999-2002. No team has ever won five straight outright titles, which CU is striving to do. The only other team in Creighton history to win four (or more) straight regular-season titles was the men’s soccer program, which claimed five straight MVC crowns from 1992-96. All five of those soccer titles were also outright titles.

Back-To-Back-To-Back-To-BackCreighton won its fourth straight BIG EAST Championship title last year, becoming the first team to do so since Notre Dame won four in a row from 1995-98. Creighton (2014-Present), Pittsburgh (1988-94) and Notre Dame (1995-98) are the only four schools to ever win back-to-back-to-back-to-back BIG EAST Championships in volleyball. The only five schools nationally to win a league tournament each of the last four sea-sons are American, Coastal Carolina, Creighton, Denver and Western Kentucky. Creighton is 9-1 all-time in five appearances at the BIG EAST Championships, reaching the final each time. Dating back to its Missouri Valley Conference days, Creighton has made 15 straight appear-ances in a league tournament after appearing in just 4-of-9 tournaments prior to Kirsten Bernthal Booth’s arrival. Creighton’s current senior class is 57-3 against BIG EAST opposition, including a 6-0 mark in league tournament play.

Marian PipelineThis is the 16th straight season that Creighton Volleyball had at least one product of Omaha Marian High School on the roster, as senior Kelsey O’Connell and junior Brittany Witt return. Each of the last seven years, Creighton’s year-end leader in digs has been a player that attended Marian. Interestingly, the Bluejays had never had a volleyball player from Marian between 1994-2002. Here’s a look at Creighton’s pipeline of players from Marian.2018: Kelsey O’Connell, Brittany Witt2017: Kelsey O’Connell, Brittany Witt2016: Kelsey O’Connell, Brittany Witt2015: Kate Elman, Ashley Jansen, Kelsey O’Connell2014: Kate Elman, Ashley Jansen 2013: Kate Elman, Ashley Jansen2012: Kate Elman, Ashley Jansen2011: Julianne Mandolfo2010: Lisa Greisch, Julianne Mandolfo2009: Lisa Greisch2008: Emily Crowley, Korie Lebeda2007: Korie Lebeda, Katie Mehal2006: Korie Lebeda, Katie Mehal, Emily Greisch2005: Korie Lebeda, Katie Mehal2004: Katie Mehal, Emily Greisch2003: Emily Greisch

Production ReturnsCreighton returns 8-of-13 letterwinners to the court from last season, including four starters

and libero Brittany Witt. From last year’s team, only Marysa Wilkinson, Lydia Dimke, Kenzie Crawford, Jaclyn Taylor (transferred to Nebraska-Omaha) and Brittany Lawrence (graduated and trans-ferred to Northern Colorado) are not back.

Against NCAA Tournament QualifiersLast season Creighton played 14 matches against 2016 NCAA Tournament qualifiers, going 8-6 against such teams. This year’s team will play 11 matches against teams that played in the 2017 NCAA Tournament, including each of the three opponents at last weekend’s Trojan Invitational. After going 3-35 against teams coming off NCAA Tournament bids prior to Kirsten Bernthal Booth’s arrival, the Jays are 71-92 since.Year W-L vs. Previous Season NCAA Teams1994 0-41995 0-21996 0-21997 0-31998 0-51999 2-42000 0-42001 1-62002 0-52003 0-32004 2-22005 0-62006 4-62007 4-92008 6-82009 1-112010 4-72011 2-62012 8-32013 6-62014 4-52015 11-52016 10-72017 8-62018 1-2TOTAL 74-127TOTAL Under Booth 71-92

I Know What You Did Last SummerTaryn Kloth gained valuable experience this summer with the US Collegiate National Team, spending 11 days in China in late May. It’s the second straight season that Kloth has been part of USA Volleyball, as in 2017 she was part of USA Volleyball’s team that went to Minneapolis, Minn. Among Kloth’s USA Volleyball teammates from 2018 that Creighton will face this sea-son include Madison Lilley (Kentucky), Carlyle Nusbaum (Lipscomb) and Jenna Rosenthal (Marquette).

Lucky Number SevenKirsten Bernthal Booth is in some select com-pany, as she directed her troops to seven NCAA Tournaments. That puts her in the company of some of the greatest coaches in CU Athletics history.

Last Year SummaryCreighton went 26-7 last fall, winning the BIG EAST regular-season and tournament titles for the fourth straight season. The Bluejays earned the No. 9 national seed in the NCAA Tournament and hosted for the first time, defeating Coastal Carolina before falling to No. 12 Michigan State in the second round. Lydia Dimke, Brittany Witt and Marysa Wilkinson were named honorable mention All-Americans by the AVCA and joined by Jaali Winters as First Team All-BIG EAST honorees. Creighton won each of the first three tourna-ments of the season, picking up wins over No. 3 Washington, No. 7 Kansas and No. 13 Kentucky along the way.

This and ThatAmaze your friends and neighbors with these nuggets...• With three wins in Dallas, Creighton would improve to 414-314 in program history. It’d mark the first time that CU has been 100 or more wins over .500, an impressive feat considering the program was 59 matches under .500 before Kirsten Bernthal Booth’s arrival.

• Creighton’s Sept. 6 home opener vs. No. 2 Nebraska will be the program’s 300th home match. CU is currently 190-109 at home all-time, but is 0-4 at CHI Health Center Omaha where that contest will be held. A crowd of more than 10,000 fans is expected for the showdown.• All four of Creighton’s seniors will graduate in December.
