Mallory Brake made her first 3-pointer of the season — on her only attempt — with 2:46 remaining to give the Bluejays a 69-66 lead and Molly Mogensen sank her fourth 3-pointer of the second half on their next possession for a six-point lead. Jensen added Creighton’s third straight make to push it to 74-66.

Cook sank 8 of 13 shots with two 3-pointers and handed out eight assists. It was the 33rd time in her career she has scored at least 20 points.
