OMAHA, Neb. -- A 2-1 record and title against a loaded field at the Bluejay Invitational moved Creighton Volleyball down two spots to ninth in this week's AVCA Top 25 poll released on Monday.
Minnesota jumped to the top spot in the ranking after previous No. 1 Stanford lost to then-No. 5 Penn State. Florida, Penn State, Stanford and Texas round out this week's top-five. Wisconsin is sixth, while a team Creighton plays on Saturday night, Kansas, ranks seventh. Washington, a team Creighton beat on August 26th in Seattle ranks eighth. Nebraska is 12th.
Creighton's No. 9 ranking in the AVCA poll is tied for its second-best mark ever, done twice previously. Last week's No. 7 ranking remains the program's best mark to date.
Creighton is 37-11 all-time when playing as a ranked team in the AVCA poll, and 5-7 when facing another ranked team while ranked. The Bluejays have now been ranked in 23 all-time polls, including each of the last nine editions. This is also the fourth straight poll with Creighton ranked in the top-10.
In other polls released on Monday, the Bluejays are sixth in the PrepVolleyball.com rankings, and seventh in the new VolleyMob.com poll.
The Bluejays opened their 2017 season with wins in Seattle over Saint Mary's (3-0), Pitt (3-0) and then-No. 3 Washington (3-1) to ascend to a program-best seventh in last week's rankings. CU then sandwiched 3-0 victories over No. 13 Kentucky and Northern Iowa around a 3-0 loss to No. 18 USC last weekend at the Bluejay Invitational.
Creighton heads to Lawrence, Kan., this weekend for the Kansas Invitational. The Bluejays will meet No. 17 Purdue (6-0) on Friday morning at 10 am before facing Ohio Valley Conference favorite Belmont (5-2) at 5 pm that evening. CU closes the weekend with a 7:30 pm contest against No. 7 Kansas (6-0) on Saturday night.
