The game between Creighton and Colgate is on Friday, December 1, at 6:30 p.m. CT in Omaha.
Colgate won the Patriot League’s league title. Colgate also played for the Patriot League in the NCAA Tournament in 2022. In the first round, they lost to Pitt in three sets. Creighton has won 15 straight games, which makes them look very good. Norah Sis is having a great time. The attack is being run very well by Kendra Wait. Win, Blue Jays!
