The Georgetown University women’s basketball team fell to the No. 24/25 Creighton University Bluejays 70-48 on Feb. 15, dashing hopes of turning their season around.

The Hoyas (11-14, 4-10 Big East) entered the matchup against the Bluejays (21-4, 13-1 Big East) having lost four of their last five games, including a loss at home against Creighton on Jan. 29. 

The game began with back-and-forth scoring by both teams, but neither pulled ahead. Senior center Ariel Jenkins led the early action with a powerful offensive rebound and strong tip shot. 

The Hoyas took their first lead of the game after graduate guard Kelsey Ransom scored 5 straight points in the waning minutes of the first quarter. After allowing a few last-minute Creighton shots, Georgetown closed the quarter with a 13-11 advantage.

Although Ransom started the second quarter strong, splashing a 3-pointer on a pass by junior guard Victoria Rivera, the game quickly spiraled out of control. 

Georgetown was locked out offensively, as Creighton embarked on a 20-3 run, with the Hoyas only making a field goal during the seven minute stretch coming from a Rivera layup. 

With two minutes remaining in the half, Georgetown found themselves down 31-19. 

First-year guard Khadee Hession was able to slim the lead slightly with back-to-back 3-pointers. Still, the Hoyas entered halftime down with a 31-25 deficit. 

The beginning of the third quarter did not see a change in momentum, as Georgetown allowed a 7-0 Creighton run out of the break. The Hoyas gave up another unopposed 7-0 run despite countering with a pair of 3-pointers, including another by Hession. Their inconsistent nature of play continued, as Georgetown hit another three before allowing yet another 7-point run by Creighton to end the third quarter trailing by 57-34. 

Shortly after another Hession jumper, Ransom began the fourth quarter on a prolonged hot streak, scoring the team’s next 8 points and inching closer to the Bluejays’ lead. Still, Georgetown entered the final two minutes of the game down 19, unable to rescue themselves from a poor performance. 

The 70-48 loss represents the Hoyas’ largest loss thus far in 2025. Georgetown shot only 32.2% from the field and 37.5% from the free throw line for the game. 

Despite the loss, Ransom scored 20 points to go along with 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. Jenkins led both teams in rebounds with 13. 

The Hoyas face Villanova University (16-11, 10-5 Big East) next in Villanova, Pa. on Feb. 19, looking to snap their three-game losing streak.
