Today's No. 13 slotting ties its fourth-best preseason ranking in program history, trailing only its No. 9 selection prior to the 2017 campaign and its No. 12 preseason pick in both 2024 and 2025. The Jays were also 13th in 2018, when they finished the year 13th.
The three transfers from Texas, Wisconsin, and Kansas highlighted by Ayden Ames makes this upcoming season intriguing. The transfer outside hitter from Wisconsin is Trinity Shadd-Ceres. Soon arriving at Creighton this past Spring, she became a First Team All-American in the long jump for Creighton's track team.
The team again plays one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the country beginning August 28 when they play Purdue, Minnesota, and USC on back to back to back. days.
Creighton's season opener this Friday evening at 6:00 vs Purdue will be televised on Fox.
Saturday's 4:00 match vs Minnesota will be on FSN 1.
Sunday's noon match vs. USC will be on BTN.
