Nanette Nylund, Anastasiia Bondarenko and Laura Janickova all dropped singles match that went three sets.
 
"Tough loss today for us but credit to Creighton for how the played," said coach Brett Barnett. "Even after losing doubles we had chances on every court. Bottom line we did not capitalize and leads and chances and that cost us.
 
"Mentally we did not have the effort that we need to pull out matches at this level. We got some time to re-group and get ready to finish off Summit League play."
