In what could have been the final at-bat of her collegiate career, Creighton senior catcher Lily West made program history on Saturday when she ripped her 246th hit in the 5-1 win over UConn.

The single broke Bluejay Hall of Famer Christy Luceford’s program record of 245 career hits, a record that has stood since 1997.

West tied the record straight away in the first inning when her RBI double put the Bluejays on the board first. Her performance on the day forced a Game 2 of the BIG EAST Tournament championship, as the Huskies suffered their first loss in the double-elimination format.

The record-breaking hit came in the top of the seventh inning when the Bluejays were on a rally, roping in two major insurance runs to down their most heated rival.

West has been a staple in the Bluejays' starting lineup since she walked in as a rookie in 2024. She has started all 224 games of her career and is now rocking a 21-game on-base streak.…
