Molly Mogensen added 11 points for Creighton, which shot 49% despite a 4-of-13 finish to the game. The Bluejays had 12 turnovers, just one in the fourth quarter.
Lizza Karlen had 29 points and 10 rebounds for the Golden Eagles (16-5, 4-5) and Mackenzie Hare had 17. Marquette was 8 of 17 from 3-point range but attempted only eight free throws, making seven.
Jayme Horan's layup just before the buzzer gave Creighton a 17-16 lead after one quarter but Hare had the last five points of the second quarter to put Marquette on top 40-37 at the half. Jordan King's jumper in the last minute had the Golden Eagles on top 56-54 entering the fourth quarter.
