After a hard-fought loss to No. 6 Connecticut, Creighton Women’s Basketball is back in action Wednesday night, facing Georgetown in Washington, D.C. The Bluejays (16-4, 8-1 BIG EAST) not only aim to continue their dominance in the series but also seek revenge after the Hoyas eliminated them from the BIG EAST Tournament last season.
Historical Dominance, but a Painful Reminder
Creighton holds an 18-5 all-time lead over Georgetown, winning the last 10 regular-season matchups. However, the Hoyas shocked the Bluejays in their most recent meeting, a 55-46 win in the 2024 BIG EAST Tournament. Despite that setback, Creighton has consistently performed well in Washington, posting an 8-3 record on the road against the Hoyas.
