In September, the volleyball program at Creighton University made quite a significant achievement. It rose to its highest ever ranking in the AVCA best program list. It was quite a significant jump from the ninth spot to the sixth spot, showing the improvement the team had made recently. This had happened after the team had defeated Purdue by 3-1 and Kansas by a 3-0 sweep, leading them to win the Jayhawk Classic.

Thus, the team went through a massive gain. It was the 22nd time that Creighton had made it to the Top 10 list, with their previous highest ranking being seventh. Since then, the team has also won their 11th consecutive Big East regular season title. This shows that the team has been quite consistent in maintaining its program and is thus a top choice for all prodigies. The facilities and people working in the college are also very good.

Creighton volleyball team’s home venue

The Creighton University volleyball team calls the Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center its home stadium for the last sixteen seasons. It has hosted many important volleyball events, which include six conference tournaments and the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament. Thus, it holds huge importance in Creighton heritage.

They also have a brilliant record in it of 176-33. The record is even better during the regular season, as it is currently at 122-8. So, ever since it’s opening in 2009, the Creighton university team has only grown more and more and has become a competent team. The construction of this stadium was quite a tedious process, which involved 115 laborers working tirelessly with 182,000 bricks and 30 miles of steel wire being used. Thus, it was quite a big deal. The arena also has dressing rooms, training rooms, and the front offices of most of the support staff.

Records and achievements

While Creighton University’s volleyball program is not as historically decorated as other premier colleges, it still has its fair share of accolades, which include the 11 Big East regular season titles. It also sits at the 21st spot of the highest attendance in an NCAA volleyball game list. The game was against the Nebraska Huskers at Creighton’s home stadium. It took place on September 7th, 2022 and was won by the Huskers with a scoreline of 3-2. 15,797 people in total attended that game.

Creighton also holds the 30th place in that list, playing the same opponent, Nebraska. The Huskers were victorious in that game too, with a similar scoreline of 3-2. Despite this, the attendance records signify that the Creighton University fans are heavily passionate about their team and try to attend every game possible.
