OMAHA, Neb. -- — Emma Ronsiek scored 18 points, Morgan Maly and Lauren Jensen added 16 each and No. 21 Creighton turned back Seton Hall 57-49 on Sunday, the sixth straight win for the Bluejays.
Seton Hall hit 4 of 5 shots early in the third quarter and got within 36-34 before Ronsiek made a layup and Maly scored twice for Creighton. A couple of minutes later, a 3-pointer by Maly gave Creighton a 47-38 lead but Seton Hall scored the final five points to get within 47-43 heading to the fourth.
Savannah Catalon made two free throws to get Seton Hall within 49-45 with 8 1/2 minutes to go but the Pirates did not score again until an Azana Baines layup with 21 seconds left made it 54-47.
There were a total of two field goals made in the fourth quarter, one for each team. Creighton went 1 for 8 and Seton Hall made 1 of 17.

Maly went 2-for-2 from the line for Creighton (16-3, 7-2), significant because she has made all 33 of her attempts this season.
