Creighton Senior Morgan Maly Earns Big East Player of The Week

Omaha, Neb. -- After leading Creighton women's basketball to a 2-0 week with a combined 51 points, senior Morgan Maly collected the BIG EAST Player of the Week on Monday, January 13.

Maly guided Creighton to a 71-68 win over Marquette on January 8 with a dominant 28 points on 10-of-11 from the field. She connected on 8-of-9 from long range against the Golden Eagles. Three days later in New Jersey the script was largely the same as Maly delivered 23 points in the Bluejays' 72-64 road win at Seton Hall. Against the Pirates Maly shined in the biggest moment. Creighton led 64-62 with 2:29 remaining in the game, but Maly refused to allow her squad to fall. She connected on consecutive three pointers and closed the game with a pair from the charity stripe to ensure the Bluejays' win.

For the week Maly went 18-for-27 (.667) from the field, 12-for-17 (.706) from beyond the arc and led the Bluejays with 13 rebounds.

This is Morgan's first BIG EAST Player of the Week nod, despite being a two-time BIG EAST First Team selection as well as the 2022 BIG EAST Sixth Woman of the Year. Maly and the Bluejays have a little time to rest, returning to the court on Saturday, January 18 against DePaul at 2:00 p.m. in D.J. Sokol Arena.
