- Creighton surged for five runs in the sixth inning, then put the winning run on base in the ninth before a flyout to center sealed Nebraska’s 6-5 win.
- Nebraska softball piled on with an Ava Kuszak RBI double, a Tara Vandewater two-run home run, run-scoring swings from Hannah Coor, and a late Kacie Hoffman homer to close out the 8-2 result.
